Abstract

Monkeypox was first discovered in monkeys in 1958, so it
was named after that. The first case was seen in humans in
1970. Monkeypox virus is the causative agent, the same
family as smallpox, but causes a less severe disease.ÊThe
Congo Basin and West African strain are the two types of
strains. All cases identified in the outbreak have been caused
by the West African strain
