Smallpox
The smallpox epidemic decimated the Pueblo population in the 1600s. This epidemic, along with other factors, such as Spanish colonization and suppression of indigenous cultures, contributed to the decline of the Pueblo people during this time.
The epidemic was caused by smallpox, a highly contagious and deadly infectious disease. Smallpox is characterized by fever, rash, and the development of fluid-filled blisters on the skin. Vaccination campaigns were crucial in controlling and eventually eradicating smallpox globally.
