Monkeypox virus is an African virus that has the potential to cause a global pandemic. The virus can be transmitted through wild animals or infected individuals, with Africa being the main region affected. Preventive measures have been taken by various countries to control the outbreak.
The Monkeypox virus (MPXV) is a double-stranded DNA virus related to the orthopoxvirus genus in the family of poxviridae. MPXV is endemic in central and Western African countries. There have been several outbreaks of MPXV in non-endemic countries since it was discovered in 1958 in lab monkeys. The current spread of MPXV is different from previous outbreaks, raising concerns about its potential to cause pandemics around the world. In order to reduce the spread of the disease, several countries imposed different preventive measures. The MPXV virus is believed to be transmitted either through wild animals, such as rodents or through infected individuals. Every year, Africa experiences a few thousand cases, mostly in the west and central regions. The number of cases outside Africa has previously been limited to a handful associated with travel to Africa or with the importation of infected animals.In this narrative review, we will discuss the clinical diagnosis, transmission, distribution, treatment, and prevention of the recent monkeypox outbreak around the world.
