25年前的这个月，世界卫生组织宣布消灭天花。几个世纪以来，这种传染病一直是人类的祸害，征服这种传染病仍然是世卫组织最伟大的成就。这一科学和医学里程碑的周年纪念日提供了一个适当的机会来反思这一壮举，并评估随之而来的痘病毒研究的重要性和必要性。
The World Health Organization (WHO) announced the eradication of smallpox twenty-five years ago this month. This conquest of an infectious disease, which has been the bane of humankind for centuries, still stands as the WHO's greatest achievement. The anniversary of such a scientific and medical landmark provides an appropriate occasion to reflect on this feat and to assess the significance and necessity of the poxvirus research that has followed this.
