Although monkeypox is endemic in West and Central Africa, it is not known for being especially transmissible. It was first found in monkeys in 1958, but rodents and other small mammals are thought to be the main animal host, and the virus is most commonly transmitted through close contact between these creatures and humans, causing people to come down with a fever, as well as a telltale bumpy rash.


It can also be spread between humans—either through respiratory droplets or the body fluids of an infected person—but this tends to be less common, as monkeypox is not contagious until a person is displaying symptoms, by which point they’re more likely to be convalescing and avoiding contact with others. Mateo Prochazka, an epidemiologist at the UKHSA, says some of the longest transmission chains documented for the virus are only six successive person-to-person infections.

But as the Monkeypox Tracker illustrates, clusters of cases are suddenly appearing around the globe without clear links back to endemic countries. To date, the UK has the most confirmed cases at 57, along with clusters in Portugal and Spain, but cases have also emerged as far away as Canada and Australia.

What are your thoughts regarding this?

It can transmit the disease much more than the chickenpox

Covid spread through kids... I don't think monkeypox will spread as effectively as covid...

This is a scary virus kung kumalat yan dito sa bansa, maging immediate concern sana at matuto na mga health leader sa bansa sa nangyari sa covid crisis. Dapat macontrol at mabantayan agad nila para di na kumalat sa bansa

Hmmm no idea regarding the science behind it for now pero if it goes super viral, it might sound selfish pero itd be good to get ready for buying investments

Monkey pox is alarming specially now na may mga cases na sa PH. I hope di na siya lumala pa.
