Abstract

During the covid-19 pandemic, many people don’t know the causes, effects, and modes of transmission of the new virus, and the entire world is in a panic state. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), monkeypox is currently on the rise and has spread to Africa. An orthopoxviral based zoonotic illness known as monkeypox causes a smallpox-like vesicular pustular illness in humans. The evolution of monkeypox, epidemiology, with a focus on the number of confirmed, likely, and/or potential cases, age at presentation, mortality, and geographic distribution of cases across West and Central Africa, has been discovered through systematic analysis of the research and published literature. Healthcare practitioners worldwide are attempting to become familiar with the varied clinical manifestations and therapy for this infection, and public health organizations are also seeking to contain the current outbreak.
