A rare condition known as monkeypox is brought on by infection with the monkeypox virus. The smallpox virus and the monkeypox virus both belong to the same virus family. Monkey pox, however, is not as contagious as smallpox. Additionally, the illness has lesser symptoms and is typically not fatal. The major symptom of Monkeypox is rash that may be located on or near the genitals.
Two outbreaks of a condition resembling the pox that were occurring in groups of monkeys being used for research led to the discovery of monkeypox in 1958. Although, skin-to-skin contact with an infected person can sometimes spread the disease, rodent contact with infected humans accounts for the majority of its transmission. The monkeypox virus has two distinct types, one of which originated in Central Africa and the other in West Africa.
The majority of those who contracted monkeypox in the past either resided and visited specific regions of central or western Africa, or exposed to diseased animals imported from such regions. The disease has been identified in residents of several nations, including the U.S., during the 2022 outbreak.
