Abstract

Monkeypox is a zoonotic disease caused by the monkeypox virus, which belongs to the Orthopoxvirus genus, along with the variola, vaccinia, and cowpox viruses. In July 2022, the WHO declared monkeypox a Public Health Emergency of International Concern due to the unprecedented global spread of the disease beyond its previously endemic regions in Africa.
