Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: This 1969 photograph was captured during a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) smallpox investigation in this location, and depicted a Dekina, Nigerian woman, while she was standing in a field of guinea corn. During the Nigerian-Biafran war, members of the CDC refugee relief team, were asked to investigate the possibility of a smallpox outbreak in Dekina, which was located north of the Nigerian refugee camps. It was here, that CDC’s Dr. Lyle Conrad, confirmed that patients were infected with smallpox, and the CDC staff was able to contain the virus, and treat many of the victims. |
