It is noted that the smallpox pathogen is transmitted through close contact with an infected person. Usually, the disease is mild, but in some cases purulent lesions begin to spread through the body of the infected person, eventually leading to death.
The outbreak has been recognized as a "public health emergency of international concern" (PHEIC), which is the highest level of alert,
Such announcements help accelerate the search for a cure and provide funding for global health measures to localize the infection as much as possible.
The latest outbreak has given rise to a new type of pathogen that spreads more easily through any physical contact, including sexual contact.
It is clear that an internationally coordinated response is needed to stop the outbreak and save lives,
Since the beginning of the year, a total of about 17,000 cases of suspected monkeypox infection and 517 deaths have been reported in 13 African countries. This is 2.5 times more than in the same period last year.
