Abstract

Human monkeypox (MPX) is a zoonose variola virus, causing widespread infection in humans since the 1980 eradication of smallpox. Unvaccinated individuals are vulnerable to MPXV infection. The virus’s increased effectiveness in human-to-human spread, biological terrorism warnings, and increased scavenger populations make it a potential public health hazard due to its widespread prevalence and potential for scavenger populations.
