As monkeypox cases continue to rise in the UK, experts have been urging patients to stay away from their pets after testing positive.
The World Health Organization (WHO) has warned various species - including prairie dogs, rope squirrels, tree squirrels, Gambian pouched rats, dormice and non-human primates - are susceptible to the monkeypox virus.
They have not yet ruled out whether domestic animals - such as cats and dogs - can contract the disease from humans or transmit it to them after picking it up from another animal.
