Just came across another little gem in Mann, apparently smallpox mutated from cowpox, horsepox or most probably camelpox, but since there are no camel in South America these diseases never transferred to humans.
But that`s not entirely correct is it, since the Llamaa family are camelids. So WI Llamaapox existed and vectored onto humans way back in the mists of time and Americans were immune to smallpox if not all the others?
