Monkeypox or monkey pox?
Monkey pox (or simian pox) is a rare infectious disease caused by the Monkeypox virus. It is mainly transmitted by rodents
to humans, then from person to person by close contact or droplet. Monkeypox virus infection causes a rash
blistering which is accompanied, in some cases, by fever, headache, fatigue and body aches. The disease is most often cured
spontaneously, after 2 to 3 weeks.
