What is Monkeypox or Smallpox? USA

Monkeypox: What are early symptoms to look for? Monkeypox disease mostly spread in United states and Africa these days and effect USA. Today I will gave you valid information about Bavarian Nordic - Monkeypox   and guide you what is Bavarian Nordic - Monkeypox . infectious diseases specialist from Toronto  Dr Isaac Bogash  help us understand this Dr Bogash number one what is monkeypox a monkeybox is a it's a viral infection and it's endemic to parts of west Africa and central Africa when it is not infecting humans it lives in rodents and this is what we call a zoonotic infection where it can jump from non-human animals into humans and as you point out there have been outbreaks in west and central Africa and once in a while a case has been able to get that someone gets on a plane fly somewhere distant and there have been uh you know cases detected over the last few years okay periodically in uh in Europe or in the Americas or elsewhere in around the world in Asia and and you know occasionally those result in onward transmission to a few other people but what we're seeing now is a much larger outbreak than what normally happens when a case gets exported from central or west Africa what are the symptoms of monkey pox so after someone's exposed to this virus it usually has an incubation period of about 10 to 14 days up to 21 days and then people will feel a bit of a headache they might have some muscle aches and pains they might have some swollen lymph nodes and then afterwards a couple of days afterwards you'll start to get those very distinct in lesions some people say it's similar you might hear words that it's similar to chickenpox it it is and it isn't with chickenpox when you see the skin lesions those classic skin lesions emerge they're of different ages so some are erupting at the same time that others are receding and scabbing over with monkey pox it's similar to an infection that has been eradicated from planet earth it's similar to smallpox in that the lesions typically are all the same age they'll usually erupt mostly at the same time and they'll roughly be uh at the same level of development and  fortunately, the vast majority of people will  uh recover from this and will do just fine but you know there obviously can be uh people on the thicker end of the spectrum luckily that's the minority of cases and so far to date we haven't heard of any of uh people impacted by this that have had a more severe uh illness but of course we know we know what can happen okay that's good to know i was going to ask you that so we know it's rare we know it it's by and large not serious but it can be the cases that we're tracking from what we're hearing including the man in the states in Massachusetts in hospital but recovering well it makes me as so it's gone from it seems from animals to human uh what we know about the cases in Montreal is these were cases reported by sexual transmitted infectious infection clinics awaiting final confirmation but they were the clinics that flagged this and it seems to be and in cases in Europe as well gay men bisexual men who have sex with men as far as transmission what do we understand about how it's transmitted and could there be a sexual transmission component to this right so this is obvious this is very interesting as well so we know first of all let's acknowledge that there's not a ton known about this this is what we call a neglected tropical infection or a neglected tropical disease in the sense that it's along with many other infections that plague low-income countries there's just not a ton of research on this but there is some and we do know something about this based on some of the outbreaks in the past and some of the studies we know that people can get this by direct contact with some of the lesions or direct contact with uh bodily fluids from infected people from close contact with individuals so uh you know being in close proximity for a prolonged period of time and of course there are there still are more distant contact uh or sorry more distant uh infections those don't seem to be the majority but that certainly can happen when we talk about people uh getting this infection through uh through sexual contact what's really unknown is that just because of close and direct contact with the lesion or was it actually sexually transmitted before we completely discard the sexual transmission i think it's fair to acknowledge that you know ebola virus recently was found to be transmitted through semen zika virus as well was found to be transmitted through sexual means as well so i think it's fair to keep an open mind on that mode of transmission but it's based on what we know close proximity is the main mode of transmission okay uh there's more online at cbcnews.ca in terms of treatment and uh and prevention and things of that nature i i just a couple one quick point on this before i ask one final question I’m going to squeak in one i i noticed you've been quote obviously people turn to you on these kinds of things when they're emerging and one quote you said is this the new covid you said no emphatically i mean there's a lot of people going oh here we go again monkey pox the new scourge what do we need to keep in mind on this Dr bolgosh yeah well this is transmissible from person to person it's not nearly as transmissible as some of the viral respiratory infections that we've seen and certainly there will be more cases there  will be more cases uncovered but this is not the same as covid 19 what's really interesting is that the small pi so it's very closely related to smallpox and people over a certain age have been vaccinated for smallpox and there's likely some very significant cross-protection of that vaccine the smallpox vaccine although that protection might wane with time, moneypox symptoms 😳 moneypox death rate, moneypox virus
