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.
