- W2885104402 abstract "To many nineteenth-century British medical officers smallpox was 'the scourge of India'. Medical intervention against smallpox in nineteenth-century India was only partly constrained by a lack of appropriate epidemiological knowledge and immunisation technology. Peter Razzell has argued that in eighteenth-century Britain variolation was employed on a sufficiently large scale and with enough care to check smallpox mortality and cause a downturn in the overall death rate. The arrival of vaccination for smallpox marked a new and critical stage in the development of western medicine in India. Jennerian vaccination, introduced to India, encouraged the British to regard smallpox as a preventible disease. Vaccination was faced with the challenge of a rival prophylactic practice in inoculation and a rival agency in the indigenous variolators. Belief in a smallpox deity provided an alternative, religious, explanation for the incidence of the disease and prescribed ritual observances that ran counter to western medical secularism." @default.
