approximately 14 to 16 days, and a person becomes
infected with smallpox between 10 and 21 days from the
beginning of transmission after the incubation period, and
it continues for a period ranging from 4 to 7 days.
Transmission of the disease and infection to others
continues during the period between the onset of the
fever and until all the scabs have subsided.
