What is monkeypox?

Monkeypox is a rare viral infection, a relative of smallpox that was eradicated in 1980.

According to the UK Public Health System (NHS), illness usually lasts for two to four weeks and the person recovers. Symptoms can appear five to 21 days after infection.

It usually begins with flu-like symptoms such as muscle aches, headache, and chills, as well as swollen lymph nodes. After that, the disease develops into a rash that spreads to the face and body.

How does it move?

Transmission occurs when a person is in close contact with the wounds, body fluids, and respiratory droplets of an infected person.

It can also occur from the bite or scratch of an infected animal, ingestion of bushmeat, or direct contact with infected people’s bedding or clothing.

Why is it called monkeypox?

Monkeypox virus was first discovered in 1958, when two outbreaks of smallpox-like disease occurred in laboratory monkeys preserved for research, hence the name.

But monkeys may not be responsible for the outbreak, and the natural reservoir of monkeypox remains unknown, although the World Health Organization says rodents are most likely.
