Monkeypox is a virus that is contagious between animals and humans and belongs to the Ortho poxvirus family of Poxviridae. In the 1970s, cases of monkeypox began to increase when smallpox vaccination was discontinued, attracting international attention. The virus got its name monkeypox because it was first identified in macaques. It is believed to be spread by a variety of rodents and small mammals, although the origin of the virus is unknown. Although monkeypox is sometimes transmitted from person to person, it can be spread by inhalation of droplets or contact with skin lesions of an infected person. Unfortunately, there is no definitive cure for monkeypox; however, supportive care can be provided to relieve symptoms. In severe cases, drugs such as tecovirimat can be given. However, there are no validated guidelines for the management of monkeypox symptoms. In this article, we have discussed various aspects of monkeypox, including virus structure, transmission, reproduction, clinical manifestations, vaccination, treatment, and current global distribution.
