Abstract
BackgroundIn July 2022, the world health organization (WHO) announced the monkeypox virus (MPXV) as a public health emergency of international concern, due to the unprecedented global transmission of the disease beyond previously endemic countries in Africa. MethodsFor this systematic review, the author searched the “web of science” (WoS) database, which retrieves 138 articles on MPXV, published between 01-04–2022 and 22-09-2022. This period witnessed the maximum cases of infection as confirmed by the WHO. Seventy articles were used for in-depth analysis, after excluding papers not highly relevant to the topic. Results and conclusionsThe current review demonstrates different types of MPXV identification analysis, transmission of MPXV, clinical features, immune responses against MPXV, the mutations, and phylogenetic analysis. It also identifies the patients with high-risk complications and determines the other diseases related to MPXV. This paper provides suggestions for the suitable usage of vaccines or antiviral drugs as a procedure to control the outbreak and preventive strategies related to the humans. This research discusses significant implications and recommendations to contribute in reducing the spread of MPXV and presents avenues for upcoming MPXV research.
