* East Pakistan was renamed Bangladesh in 1971. Transmission was interrupted in 1970, but smallpox was reintroduced from India in 1971 when civil war, flooding, and famine created vast numbers of refugees. The last case in Bangladesh occurred on 16 Oct 1975. It was the last case of variola major and the last case of smallpox in Asia.

** Burma was renamed Myanmar in 1989.
