Abstract
Monkeypox virus is a linear double-stranded DNA virus that belongs to the family Poxviridae of the genus Orthopoxvirus. This study provides information about identification, incidence and prevalence rate and aetiopathogenesis of the monkeypox virus in Africa and also the study of its epidemiology on human is well explained. However, the study gives details about the clinical manifestation, laboratory testing, mode of transmission and preventive way to cure and reduce the virus. Nevertheless, the Centre for Disease Control (CDC) and Prevention recommends the use of smallpox vaccine within two (2) weeks of significant exposure and antiviral agents like Cidofovir have also been employed. Improved infection control measures include: regular screening and isolation of newly infected animal, better hygiene habits, and quarantining of infected persons. A better understanding of monkeypox virus would contribute to better management of emergency situations.
