Editing Rossi Arian Pox (section)

==Prevention and treatment==

Currently, there is no proven, completely safe treatment for RAP. some vaccinations have been reported to reduce the risk of the pox among previously vaccinated humanoids. [[Starfleet Command|Starfleet Medical Command]] recommends that persons investigating such outbreaks and involved in caring for infected individuals should receive a low-dosage vaccination to protect against the strain. Persons who have had close or intimate contact with individuals confirmed to have RAP should also be vaccinated. These persons can be vaccinated up to 14 days after exposure. Starfleet Medical does not recommend pre-exposure vaccination for unexposed individuals, unless such persons are involved in field investigations.

A twenty day course of 5-10 micrograms of [[Corophizine]] is the standard treatment for handling secondary infections that may accompany the initial outbreak of the disease.  Specialized vaccines are required to combat the direct viral infection itself and the Corophizine is proven no have no inter-activity to those vaccinations.
