Monkeypox
Monkeypox is a viral zoonotic disease, which means that the infection spreads from animals to humans. The infection is transmitted to humans through scratches or bites from infected rodents such as rats, mice, and squirrels, or by eating bush meat. Monkeypox is commonly found in Central and West Africa, but cases have been identified in other countries due to travel from regions where monkeypox is endemic.
