Note the article clearly says they believe the illness came from the G-rat and that the Prairie Dogs caught it from the G-Rat. Prairie Dogs have been consumed here in America for a very long time. Native American's ate them all the time, even before Chris Columbus discovered America. Chances are the G-Rat came straight from Africa (smuggled in) and brought the Monkeypox here and infected the Prairie Dogs that the exotic pet dealer had. Dealer sold the P-Dogs to several places. The exotic pet dealer has a lot explaining to do about where that G-Rat came from.

Funny, but I've never heard of prairie dogs carrying monkeypox before ... something doesn't seem to be jiving here.

What they ARE known for carrying in bubonic plague.
