Study confirms smallpox reached Americas via European contact

1 Sep 15 · 8d ago · 2 articles · 2 sources · development 1 of 2

The recovered DNA reveals that Chilean viruses were related to strains previously found in Europe, providing direct molecular evidence supporting historical records that smallpox arrived following European contact. However, the study cannot identify who carried the virus or how it reached the community.
