This is a very terrible infectious disease, and the speed of transmission is very fast, and it is also a new type of infectious disease, which has now been solved accordingly.
-
I think the impact of this disease on the body is very serious, it can appear in these parts of the face, hands and feet, and it is very similar to the smallpox virus, it spreads very quickly, and it can also leave very serious scars on the face after it is cured.
-
In the case of monkeypox virus, it is also an infectious disease, so its transmission route is also relatively wide, so we must also take appropriate precautions.

The monkeypox virus first emerged in the UK and is difficult to controlThe monkeypox virus is a new type of virus that is raging in human society after the new coronavirus, and it has caused a very serious impact. The first case of monkeypox virus infection was first found in the United Kingdom, the infected person was infected with the monkeypox virus after traveling from Africa, and immediately received the attention of the local ** after returning to the United Kingdom, so the first infected person was quarantined, and the strain carried by the infected person was analyzed; However, in the following days, some monkeypox virus infections appeared in the United Kingdom, and after strain analysis, it was found that these infected people were all strains originating from West Africa, which shows that the transmission route of monkeypox virus is very strange, so the monkeypox virus began to rage in the United States, France, Canada and other countries, and the situation is very serious. <>
The monkeypox virus is not very transmissible, but it is very harmfulThe monkeypox virus is a zoonotic virus, which initially only existed in monkeys and other animals, but now the monkeypox virus has mutated and can begin to spread from person to person, but the transmission mode of the monkeypox virus is still through blood transmission and body fluids, so it is impossible for the monkeypox virus to break out on a large scale like the new coronavirus; However, the monkeypox virus can cause very serious harm to the human body, and because there is no drug to treat the monkeypox virus, the mortality rate of people infected with the monkeypox virus is very terrible. <>
There is a way to prevent the monkeypox virusAfter the research of the monkeypox virus, scientists found that the monkeypox virus is very similar to the well-known smallpox virus, and the smallpox virus vaccine can effectively resist the invasion of the monkeypox virus into the human body, which also provides a good plan for humans to prevent the monkeypox virus. At the same time, as long as the people of these countries travel and carry masks and do not have excessive close contact with strangers, the monkeypox virus can be effectively prevented, but Western countries pay more attention to freedom, and these epidemic prevention measures are difficult to implement, so it is difficult to control the monkeypox epidemic in these countries. <>

The "monkeypox" outbreak, which was first detected in the United Kingdom, has now spread to many Western countries, and it is reported that France and other countries are also investigating suspected cases. I didn't get the control room because of the suddenness and there was no way to deal with it, so I was panicked.
-
The earliest cases were in Spain; This was mainly due to the limited level of medical care in the area, and the fact that the disease had already spread widely when it was discovered at that time.
-
92 confirmed cases and 28 suspected cases have been reported from 12 countries around the world that are not endemic with the monkeypox virus. Available information suggests that human-to-human transmission is occurring among people who have had close physical contact with symptomatic cases. Monkeypox is a rare viral zoonotic disease (a virus transmitted from animals to humans) that is close to smallpox, and the two can be said to be close relatives, with symptoms similar to those observed in smallpox patients in the past, but with milder clinical severity.
In terms of symptoms, monkeypox and smallpox have many commonalities, for example, infected people will have fever, chills, headaches, muscle pain, body aches and other symptoms, and they will also feel tired, and some infected people may have coughing symptoms. The monkeypox virus is most likely transmitted through close contact, and the virus in the pox family is a self-limiting virus, which means that it will not continue to be infected endlessly, and the infected person will usually recover after a few weeks. Although there is a certain case fatality rate after infection, like the monkeypox virus, its fatality rate is generally between 1% and 10%.
Epidemiological investigations have found that monkeypox is the host of monkeys and apes, rabbits and mice are also susceptible animals, and ground squirrels are important reservoirs of monkeypox virus. Monkeypox is predominantly endemic in animals, but occasionally can infect humans, mainly in children, and very rarely spread from person to person. In China, there is no monkeypox** yet, and there is no possibility of infection.
From the perspective of the law of the occurrence of infectious diseases, it has three important links: the source of infection, the transmission route and the susceptible population. If any link is controlled, infectious diseases can be effectively controlled.
The source of monkeypox infection is mainly small animals, and now China has a policy that explicitly prohibits the import of animals, which means that monkeypox is squeezed out of the country.
Monkeypox occurs in monkeys in the rainforests of west-central Africa, but can also infect other animals, occasionally infecting humans. The clinical presentation resembles smallpox, but the disease is milder.
-
People who have been vaccinated against smallpox have a certain degree of cross-protection against this virus, and generally speaking, people who have not been vaccinated against smallpox will have a higher chance of infection, mainly including the elderly and children and some people with very poor resistance.
-
Children are more susceptible to infection, and there are people with relatively low immunity, or people with some underlying diseases, or people who are not in good health, these groups of people are particularly susceptible to infection, and they should be protected at ordinary times.
-
Monkeypox is a self-limiting disease, severe cases are common in young children, people with weakened immunity, elderly people with underlying diseases, people with poor hygiene habits, and people who do not pay attention to their own cleanliness, these people are more likely to develop symptoms of infection.

Monkeypox appeared in Taiwan, our country, so we must not let our guard down。The monkeypox virus unknowingly spread throughout the world, and I thought it was far away from us, but I didn't expect a case of monkeypox to be confirmed in Taiwan. The confirmed patient is a 25-year-old male who had previously studied in Germany, and after entering the country, he developed suspected symptoms and was confirmed to have monkeypox after testing.
The confirmed patient is being treated in the hospital** and the scabs on his body have not completely fallen off. Many people are panicking when they see this, will Chinese mainland also be affected by the monkeypox virus? After all, no one wants to have a wave of unsettled and rising waves.
First of all, we must face the monkeypox virus correctly and not listen to the alarmist words on the Internet. The monkey vaccinia virus first appeared in monkeys, and other animals may also be a route of transmission. Monkeypox is a zoonotic disease, and its mortality rate is usually around 3% to 6%, which is lower than smallpox, but it is definitely not good.
The transmission route of the monkeypox virus is droplet transmission, close contact, bodily fluids, etc., so if we want to prevent this virus, we must wear a mask when we go out and avoid contact with confirmed patients.
Secondly, the monkeypox virus has a certain degree of self-healing, and even if there is no specific drug, medical staff will target it according to the symptoms of the patient**. It is worth mentioning that because monkeypox and smallpox are "close relatives", many elderly people in China were vaccinated against smallpox when they were young, and that vaccine can also play an 85% protective effect on monkeypox, but it is unrealistic to rely on it completely to prevent monkeypox.
Finally, we also need to pay attention to the way we cook, and be sure to completely separate raw and cooked foods to avoid cross-infection. Try not to eat raw or cold food, and meat should be fully cooked before eating. We should face the monkeypox virus correctly and not panic too much, but we should not completely relax either.
After all, monkeypox has caused the World Health Organization to issue frequent warnings, which shows that it is also a bad one.
-
Yes, it has been seen in Taiwan Province, so everyone must pay attention to their own hygiene.
-
No; At present, no cases of monkeypox virus have been found in China, and it is reported that there are currently 80 types of monkeypox confirmed cases in the world, and there are still 50 cases to be confirmed.
-
China's neighboring Russia, India, Singapore, Malaysia, and South Korea have all reported confirmed cases of monkeypox, and one case was also confirmed in Taiwan on June 24.

Since the emergence of the monkeypox virus, it has spread rapidly to many countries and regions around the world, and up to now, the cumulative number of confirmed cases of monkeypox in the world has exceeded 50,000, and the overall situation is still relatively grim. Monkeypox virus is a zoonotic disease that is transmitted through three main routes: droplet transmission, body fluids, blood transmission, and contact transmission.
Droplet transmission, everyone should be familiar with it, like the new crown virus that is currently circulating globally, the main way of transmission is droplet transmission. If you have prolonged or close face-to-face contact with someone infected with the monkeypox virus, you are likely to be infected through a large number of droplets containing the virus, which is one of the main modes of transmission of the monkeypox virus from person to person. In addition, there is also transmission from bodily fluids or blood, which is usually transmitted from animals to humans.
Humans can be transmitted through the blood and body fluids of infected animals if they are bitten by an animal that has been infected with the monkeypox virus, or if they come into direct contact with the blood or body fluids of an animal infected with the monkeypox virus without any protective measures. In addition, there is also contact transmission, which is simply the direct contact with various items contaminated by the virus carried by the infected person, such as clothing, towels or other daily necessities, etc., which is likely to indirectly transmit the monkeypox virus. The monkeypox virus is still relatively contagious and harmful, and once infected with the monkeypox virus, the body will have various uncomfortable symptoms, which seriously affects people's health.
In ordinary life, try not to have direct contact with wild animals, because in some wild animals, there is likely to be monkeypox virus, and the risk of being bitten or scratched is still relatively large. When going out, remember to wear a mask correctly, maintain social distancing, and try not to go to crowded places, after all, the monkeypox virus can also be transmitted through the respiratory tract, and at the moment of the epidemic, you still can't let your guard down.
-
The main transmission routes of this virus include human-to-animal transmission, and human-to-human transmission can invade the human body through mucous membranes and broken **.
-
The virus is transmitted through close contact with animals, and it is particularly susceptible to infection after close contact with animals.
-
It is related to the environment, and the possibility of droplet transmission is relatively large, so it is necessary to pay attention to cleanliness and hygiene, and pay attention to daily life.
-
Not much is known about it, except that it is a zoonotic virus.
Suspected or confirmed cases of monkeypox continue to be confirmed or found in many countries abroad, raising concerns about whether it will be widely spread. It also makes people have to calm down and seriously understand what kind of virus the monkeypox virus is? How contagious is it?
Monkeypox virus
As the name suggests, the monkeypox virus is an infectious disease discovered in monkeys in the fifties of the last century, and the most obvious symptom of this disease is the appearance of "bean-shaped" on the body, and it is contagious, so it is named monkeypox. It is a viral zoonotic disease, the same type of virus as smallpox, which has been ravaging humans for a long time. This will inevitably cause people to worry and fear, although the flower disease has been completely eradicated today, but the harm it once brought to people is still fresh in people's memories.
Confirmed cases of monkeypox virus have been reported in many countries
The monkeypox virus is mainly circulating in some African countries, with thousands of cases detected and reported in Congo between 2020 and 2021. The monkeypox outbreak was detected in the United States because of the transport of Gambian rats and dormice carrying the virus. In 2018, countries such as Singapore, the United Kingdom, and other countries found people infected with the virus among travelers.
The virus can be transmitted to humans in close contact through the blood, body fluids, and other places of animals carrying the virus, and animals that carry the virus can also be infected. Now that confirmed cases of the virus have been found in many countries, it is inevitable that people will be worried. <>
What do we know about this virus?
After understanding the basic situation of the monkeypox virus, experts also gave advice. According to the World Health Organization, although the symptoms of monkeypox virus infection are very similar to smallpox virus infection, they are mild in terms of severity. Smallpox vaccination is also effective against the monkeypox virus.

Monkeypox is a human-like virus, and generally sick animals are the main source of infection of this virus, and can be infected through direct contact, and its manifestations are mainly swollen lymph nodes, fever, and blisters all over the body.

The monkeypox virus, a virus that originated in monkeys, has now begun to spread from person to person. Homologous to smallpox virus requires vigilance. Attention should be paid to prevention and control.
Spain has confirmed two deaths from monkeypox, with the Spanish Ministry of Health now confirming 4,298 cases of monkeypox and about 120 people currently hospitalized**. This means that the monkeypox virus has completed its intra-community transmission, and it is possible that the monkeypox virus has mutated. The fatality rate of monkeypox is not very high, between 3% and 6%, and the rate can reach 85% with smallpox vaccination**. >>>More
The spread is wide, the speed of transmission is fast, and there are many ways to spread! There is now a very serious outbreak of monkeypox in the United States. >>>More
