Ali Maow was the last person who suffered from the disease called smallpox which is caused by the virus variola minor and variola major. He was a hospital cook in Merca, Somalia. Then, in 1977 he accompanied two patients which were suffering from the smallpox to the local smallpox office. Firstly, he was diagnosed with malaria later on, he was correctly diagnosed with smallpox and then he was isolated till he fully recovered.
