Abstract
The aim of our study is to enhance the awareness about monkeypox virus among people so that its drastic effects can be overcome easily. An orthopox virus of the poxviridae family called the monkeypox virus (MPV) is currently causing worry on a global scale. It has two recognized viral clades and is indigenous to central and western Africa. The natural reservoirs are probably a variety of African rodents and primates. Direct contact with diseased animals, such as bites, scratches, and butchering, results in zoonotic transmission. Human to human transmission happens when two people come into close touch (for example, through skin-to-skin contact, sexual contact, or respiratory droplets). Human MPV illness often starts with a fever prodrome and lymphadenopathy,and then progresses to a diffuse maculopapular to vesiculopustular skin/mucosal lesion eruption. The febrile prodrome may be lacking in the current 2022 outbreak, which is mostly affecting males who have sex with men (MSM), and skin/mucosal lesions. The data in this study was collected from different data basis like google scholar, pubmed and medline etc by using various key words. However, the existing data is clearly indicating the drastic impact of MPV on human health and necessay steps must be taken to overcome it.
