Can viruses such as Smallpox still exist in corpses of its victims? - smallpox more condition_symptoms

If someone's grave of a deceased smallpox opens the possibility that the smallpox virus could remain there and possibly infect the grave robbers? If so, could still pock the earth, and not only in laboratories in Russia and the United States?

Smallpox is not possible in the skeletal remains, but it is long frozen in the mummified remains viable. It seems a lot of research, but the crusts of smallpox study that was viable after 13 years in sealed envelopes.

The U.S. government has done some work on this a few years ago, had the flu in 1918, but it gives you an idea.
Sealed graves were dug up several people who died in Alaska, the permafrost frozen. They found that the influenza virus is still heavily on the corpses. Egyptian mummies were dug up and tested for rheumatism and arthritis and has not yet been found that after some three thousand years. It gives you an idea of the duration of the disease. I know that's not what he wanted, but there is an idea and a reason to investigate further.
