How was monkeypox virus transmitted to humans?
All people infected with monkeypox became ill after having contact with infected prairie dogs purchased as pets. A study conducted after the outbreak suggested that certain activities associated with animals were more likely to lead to monkeypox. These included touching a sick animal or receiving a bite or scratch that broke the skin. Another important factor was cleaning the cage or touching the bedding of a sick animal. No instances of monkeypox were attributed exclusively to person-to-person contact.
Monkeypox is a rare disease that is caused by infection with monkeypox virus.
Monkeypox was first discovered in 1958 when outbreaks of a pox-like disease occurred in monkeys kept for research. The first human case was recorded in 1970 in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), and since then the infection has been reported in a number of central and western African countries. Most cases are reported from DRC and Nigeria.
In 2003, monkeypox was recorded in the USA when an outbreak occurred following importation of rodents from Africa. Cases were reported in both humans and pet prairie dogs. All the human infections followed contact with an infected pet and all patients recovered. No other country outside West and Central Africa has reported similar cases or outbreaks.
On 3 December 2019, a patient was diagnosed with monkeypox in England. This is the fourth case diagnosed in the UK since the first imported cases in 2018. Two other cases in travellers were diagnosed in Israel in 2018 and Singapore in 2019.

From 1958 to 1977, the World Health Organization conducted a global vaccination campaign that eradicated smallpox, making it the only human disease to be eradicated. Although routine smallpox vaccination is no longer performed on the general public, the vaccine is still being produced to guard against bioterrorism, biological warfare, and for monkeypox.[2][3]
