Monkeypox virus belongs to the genus Poxvirus, family Poxviridae, subfamily Chordate Poxviridae, and in addition to monkeypox virus, the genus Poxvirus also includes smallpox virus, cowpox virus, and poxvirus (used in smallpox vaccine preparation). The main natural hosts of monkeypox virus are monkeys and squirrels inhabiting tropical rainforests, and infected rodents or other mammals are reservoir hosts. Humans can also be infected, and since the discovery of the first case of human infection with monkeypox virus in 1970, there have been continuous cases of human infections with monkeypox virus to date. Studies have shown that formaldehyde, ethanol, sodium dodecyl sulfate, phenol, and chloroform can inactivate the virus. Monkeypox virus can be inactivated at 56℃ for 20 minutes, can survive for 6 months at 4℃, and is stable under low temperature drying conditions. There is no specific treatment for monkeypox virus infection, and contact with wild animals should be avoided as much as possible. If there are symptoms such as fever and rash, it is recommended to consult a doctor in time.
