Prior to April 2022, cases of monkeypox virus infecting humansoutside Africa's endemic regions were infrequent. The ongoing 2022, outbreak is an extensive human-to-human transmission emerged outside Africa.By the end of July, the World Health Organization recorded almost 18,600 cases, and declaredthe outbreak as a Public Health Emergency of International Concern and reported its spread to at least 78 different countries, including India. While the reservoir host still remain unidentified, rodents from Africa are thought to be the intermediary hosts. In spite of decades of ongoing outbreaks, it is likely that the failure to stop the disease's spread in Africa's endemic regions is what led to the outbreak in non-endemic countries. To combat current and future outbreaks, a “One Health”, globally driven approach must be taken to disease prevention and treatment. |
