Monkeypox virus particles, illustration. Monkeypox is a zoonotic virus from the Poxviridae family that causes monkeypox, a pox-like disease. At the centre of the monkeypox virus is a core nucleoprotein that contains the DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) genome. This is surrounded by an outer envelope that is covered with surface tubules. This virus, which is found near rainforests in Central and West Africa causes disease in humans and monkeys, although its natural hosts are rodents. It is capable of human to human transmission. In humans it causes fever, swollen glands and a rash of fluid-filled blisters.

自去年12月底以来,奥克兰已确诊七例猴痘病例,其中一例已经离境回国。

奥克兰地区公共卫生服务的专家Felicity Williamson博士表示,猴痘是一种通过皮肤接触传播的病毒感染。

她说,感染猴痘病毒的风险很低,但是出现皮疹、肿块、水泡或溃疡的人士应该寻求健康咨询建议。

Williamson称,对接触者的追踪确立了大多数病例之间的关联,确认了病毒的传播。

当前的全球疫情始于2022年5月,这种病毒--当时被称为"monkeypox"--在伦敦出现。

世界卫生组织在当年晚些时候将其重新命名为"mpox",表示其原名引发了"种族主义和侮辱性语言"。

2023年5月,世界卫生组织宣布全球公共卫生紧急状态结束。

第一例人类猴痘病例于1970年在刚果民主共和国发现。
