    • It is a zoonotic disease that affects primarily animals and spread to humans. There are other
    examples of zoonosis: Ebola virus, HIV, Smallpox, Cow pox, Salmonellosis.
    • The Monkey pox caused by a virus that was first recorded in the 1950s when two colonies of
    monkeys kept for research started showing symptoms similar to smallpox virus in Congo.
    • The Monkeypox virus belongs to the same family, (Orthopox virus), which can also cause
    smallpox and cowpox. The first positive human case of the monkeypox virus was identified in
    the 1970s in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

    deaths in 1oo years of existence, the last case was detected in October 1977 and eradicated in
    1980 by vaccination. All known stocks of smallpox worldwide were destroyed or transferred to
    two WHO-designated reference laboratories – the United States' (CDC) and the Soviet Union's
    (now Russia’s) State Research Centre of Virology.
