Monkeypox
Monkeypox is a rare viral disease that first appeared in the United States in 2003 when a shipment of exotic, wild animals from Ghana, including infected Gambian rats, dormice, and rope squirrels, entered the country.
The infected animals then transmitted the virus to prairie dogs when they were collocated at an animal distributor. The prairie dogs were later sold as exotic pets and, in turn, transmitted the disease to humans. People can get monkeypox through a bite or direct contact with the infected animal's blood, body fluids, or lesions. It is thought to be spread person-to-person through large respiratory droplets during direct and prolonged face-to-face contact. In addition, monkeypox can be spread by direct contact with body fluids of an infected person or with virus- contaminated objects, such as bedding or clothing. In humans, the signs and symptoms of monkeypox are similar to those of smallpox and include rash, fever, headache, muscle aches, backache, swollen lymph nodes, a general feeling of discomfort, and exhaustion.
