What is MONKEY POX

Monkeypox It is a rare disease caused by infection with monkeypox virus.

Monkeypox virus is part of the same family of viruses as variola virus, the virus that causes smallpox. Symptoms of monkeypox are similar to those of smallpox, but milder, and monkeypox is rarely fatal.

Monkeypox is not related to chickenpox.

Monkeypox was discovered in 1958 when two outbreaks of a pox-like disease occurred in colonies of monkeys kept for research

Although given the name “monkeypox“, the source of the disease remains unknown.

However, African rats and non-human primates (such as monkeys) can harbor the virus and infect people.

The first human case of monkeypox was reported in 1970.

Before the 2022 outbreak, monkeypox was reported among people in several Central and West African countries.

Previously, almost all monkeypox cases in people outside of Africa were linked to international travel to countries where the disease is common or to imported animals.

These cases have occurred on multiple continents.
