Abstract:
In 2022, just before the COVID-19 pandemic ended, many countries noticed a viral monkeypox outbreak. Monkeypox virus, a zoonotic pathogen, causes a febrile illness in humans and resembles smallpox. Prevention strategies encompass vaccination, strict infection control measures, and avoiding contact with infected persons. As monkeypox and related poxviruses continue to pose challenges, ongoing surveillance, early diagnosis, prompt isolation, and effective control measures are crucial for limiting transmission and mitigating the impact of outbreaks on public health. This review provides valuable insights into the evolution of the monkeypox virus and its various modes of transmission, including postmortem transmission, and offers an overall perspective on the guidelines issued by the Government of India to prevent and effectively control the spread of this disease.
摘要:
2022年,就在COVID-19大流行结束之前,许多国家注意到病毒性猴痘的爆发。猴痘病毒,一种人畜共患病原体,导致人类高热疾病,类似天花。预防策略包括疫苗接种,严格的感染控制措施,避免与感染者接触。随着猴痘和相关痘病毒继续构成挑战,持续监视,早期诊断,迅速隔离,有效的控制措施对于限制传播和减轻疫情对公共卫生的影响至关重要。这篇综述为猴痘病毒的进化及其各种传播方式提供了宝贵的见解,包括死后传播,并对印度政府发布的预防和有效控制这种疾病传播的指导方针提供了总体看法。
