Abstract

Abstract

Monkeypox is a rare, sporadic, acute infectious disease with smallpox-like clinical manifestations caused by monkeypox virus (MPXV). Since May 2022, more than 1 000 laboratory-confirmed cases of monkeypox have been reported worldwide. This is the first time in the world that multiple monkeypox cases and clustered cases have been reported in both non-endemic and endemic countries. The prevention and control of the epidemic presents new challenges. This study reviewed the research progress on the etiological characteristics, epidemic status, epidemiological characteristics, and prevention and control measures of monkeypox virus, in order to provide reference for scientific prevention and control.
