Priority, Invisibility and Eradication: The History of Smallpox and the Brazilian Public Health Agenda

Abstract: This article describes three periods in Brazil's modern history when governmental action was (or was not) taken against smallpox: first, when smallpox control became a priority in the Brazilian sanitary agenda from the nineteenth century to the beginning of the twentieth century; second, when it was rendered politically invisible during decades when greater attention was given to yellow fever and malaria control; third, when it reappeared at the centre of Brazilian health policy in the 1960s until its eventual… Show more

“…Historical records indicate that the establishment of an animalbased vaccine in Brazil was accomplished only in 1887, when samples of calf-lymph vaccine were brought to Rio de Janeiro from the Chambon Institute in Paris, France (15,16). The French Institute used the Beaugency strain (67), which is suggested to be the origin of the VACV-IOC used in the Brazilian smallpox eradication campaign (J.…”

“…However, it is suggested that the VACV-IOC used in the 1970s originated from the Beaugency strain (J. A. Espmark to D. A. Henderson, correspondence on March 31, 1969, file 88-001-10, Sanofi Pasteur Archives [Connaught Campus]) that probably constituted the first animal-based vaccine samples imported to Brazil in 1887 from Chambon Institute, France (15,16). Damaso et al (17) named the vaccine VACV-IOC, after the Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, during comparative studies with Cantagalo virus (CTGV).…”

“…Sin embargo, en Brasil, los estudios sobre el tema parecen tener un lugar periférico en la historiografía de la salud pública, restringido a los análisis que enfatizan el importante episodio de la "revuelta de la vacuna", de 1904, cuando la población carioca de la naciente república se rebeló contra las medidas de obligatoriedad de la vacunación de la municipalidad de Río de Janeiro (1,2,3) . El interés por abordar la erradicación de la viruela es reciente y, hasta el momento, son pocos los trabajos que buscan rescatar la historia de la Campaña de Erradicación de la Viruela en el territorio brasileño (4,5,6,7,8) .…”

“…Las publicaciones brasileñas sobre la erradicación de la viruela han mostrado cómo tales acciones estuvieron incluidas en un escenario más amplio de discusión al interior de la salud pública internacional sobre la temática de la erradicación de las enfermedades (4,5,6,7,8) , en la que la vigilancia epidemiológica se constituyó, al menos en lo que respecta a la erradicación de la viruela, en una metodología aplicada al control de enfermedades (4) . En este sentido, Gazeta (5) afirma que la Campaña de Erradicación de la Viruela, de 1966, apareció como política de salud pública en un contexto de articulación y esfuerzos internacionales de control y erradicación de la enfermedad, coordinados por la Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS).…”
