Smallpox Outbreak 1978: Tragedy In Birmingham: Smallpox Book

By Louise Christler

The accidental Birmingham laboratory release of small poxvirus in August 1978 during the countdown of world smallpox eradication resulted in the population of a major urban city systematically searched for first-line contacts and isolated from the rest of the community for the first time in modern public health history.

This book will give a full account of the 1978 Birmingham smallpox outbreak and the ensuing court case, drawn from records of the time and the reminiscences of those who lived through it.
