Monkeypox is a zoonotic disease that can occur in both humans and some other animals. The ongoing Monkeypox outbreak which was confirmed last month has now spread across multiple non-endemic countries. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the current outbreak of monkeypox simultaneously in several regions without direct immediate travel links to areas that have long experienced monkeypox suggests that there may have been undetected transmission for several weeks or longer. Meanwhile, global health officials are investigating the Monkeypox cases. Dr. Vikram Vora, Medical Director, International SOS, during her conversation with Financial Express.com, talked about the possible causes of the Monkeypox outbreak, symptoms, the need for strict surveillance, and the strategies that need to be adopted by countries across the globe to contain the spread of the virus.
