Rahima Banu

Rahima Banu (born 1973) was the last known person to be infected with naturally-incurring "Variola major" smallpox. The case occurred on 16 October 1975, when the two-year old Banu was living in the village of Kuralia on Bhola Island in the Bangladesh district of Barisal. Her case was reported to eradication team authorities by an eight-year old girl, Bilkisunnessa, who was paid 250 taka.Image caption of U.S. Centers for Disease Control [http://phil.cdc.gov/phil/home.asp Public Health Image Library] image number 7762] In 2000, she was photographed with four children and a man who was apparently her husband.Image caption of U.S. Centers for Disease Control [http://phil.cdc.gov/phil/home.asp Public Health Image Library] image number 7765]
