While the world only recently started recovering from the deadly COVID-19 pandemic, the discovery of monkeypox, a fatal disease found in the US and Europe has perturbed several countries and caused havoc. 3413 confirmed monkeypox cases and one death has been reported to the World Health Organization (WHO).
Monkeypox is a mild infection which comes from the wild fierce African animals. The disease was first detected in the year 1958 when two pox outbreaks occurred in colonies of monkeys kept for examination. It was at that time that this disease got termed as “monkeypox” as reported by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Monkeypox was first detected in 1970 in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).
