Abstract:
Monkeypox(MPX)is a viral zoonotic disease caused by monkeypox virus(MPV)infection.For many years it has been confined to the African region,with only a handful of cases in other parts of the world.But in recent years,monkeypox out-breaks have slowly spread to other regions.MPV is the cause of the human monkeypox disease,which is similar in clinical pres-entation to smallpox,although the fatality rate of MPV infection is lower than that of smallpox,but more and more confirmed ca-ses are reported,which raises various concerns.This article mainly reviews the biological characteristics,epidemiological characteristics,clinical treatment,prevention and conclusions of MPV,which helps to improve people's understanding of MPV transmission,symptoms,prevention and protection measures,and also provides a theoretical basis for further research on MPV.
