James Hiroto Nakano (1922-1990), Japanese-US smallpox researcher, analyzing data while seated at his desk. Nakano designed and directed the USA's CDC (Center for Disease Control) smallpox laboratory (completed in 1967) which later evolved into one of the world's primary smallpox reference centres. Electron microscopes were the primary method for rapid diagnosis of smallpox, surpassing other methods in speed and reliability. Nakano's work demonstrated that no reservoir of smallpox could be maintained in wild animals, and helped differentiate among various pox diseases including monkeypox. His main work was carried out between 1968 and 1985. Nakano became part of the World Health Organization (WHO)'s global smallpox eradication effort. The CDC's prestigious James H. Nakano Citation for outstanding scientific paper, was established in his honour. | |
