Abstract:
The world has faced disease challenges with pandemic disease (COVID 19) and people are still under the fear of corona viral disease. Before it settles down, now the world is facing another endemic challenge with the Monkey Pox outbreak in 2022 especially in non- endemic countries including India. Animal to human transmission is possible by direct contact with infected animals either by bites or scratches or respiratory droplets or food from bush meat or handling other animal products. In the context of re-creating an awareness about the importance of monkey pox and the threat it can cause is being recapped in this review article.
