In 1958, the first case of monkeypox emerged among captive primates used for research, so it was dubbed monkeypox. 1971 marked the first human victim of monkeypox in the Congo Republic.1Like variola (VARV), cowpox (CPX) and vaccinia (VACV), MPXV is a member of the family of DNA that is double-stranded viruses known as the genus Orthopoxvirus2.
