Mpox Outbreak: Global Health Concern Becomes This Disease | Health Live

The World Health Organization (WHO) has declared Mpox, also known as Monkeypox, a global health emergency. Mpox is a viral disease caused by the Monkeypox virus, first identified in 1958 when scientists observed a pox-like illness in monkeys. The disease has recently seen an increase in monkeypox cases, particularly in central and West Africa. It primarily affects individuals who have close contact with animals, including those handling wildlife or domesticated animals. Mpox symptoms resemble smallpox but are generally milder. The recent surge in cases has raised significant concern, prompting the WHO to issue a global alert to address the outbreak effectively.
