The new disease, monkeypox, a deadly infectious disease, has spread to more than 14 countries.
There is no definitive vaccine or treatment for this, although experts believe that the disease may not be as severe as coronavirus.
The disease is more prevalent in various animals, especially wildlife, and spreads from person to person.
The disease was first discovered in 1956 in the warm humid forests of Africa.
It is a homogenous disease of smallpox.
How is the infection?
Anyone can be infected with monkeypox by touching an infected animal or touching its blood, body fluids or fur.
Also, if the meat of an infected animal is eaten without proper cooking, a person can be infected by touching the used clothes, bed or towel of someone who has the rash.
What are the symptoms of monkeypox?
Although fever, body aches, and smallpox are common symptoms of monkeypox, the disease can cause sores on the face or genitals.
According to the World Health Organization, one out of every 10 people infected with the disease in Africa has died.
Since there is no proven cure for the disease so far, caution and precaution is the best way.
However, smallpox vaccine is known to be somewhat effective in this disease.
