MONKEYPOX: DISTRIBUTION, CHARACTERISTICS OF THE VIRUS, TREATMENT AND PREVENTION MEASURES

Currently, one of the most important tasks of the World Health Organization is prevention, the fight against epidemic diseases and the consideration of new methods in this direction. An important role in this was played by many years of experience and a stock of scientific achievements in the victory of mankind in the fight against infectious diseases. Today, there is an alarm in the media of a number of states about the emergence of epidemic disease such as monkey pox. The first registration of monkey pox in science was associated with the discovery in the middle of the XX century in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Later, a sharp increase in this infection in a number of countries attracted the special attention of the World Health Organization. The goal set by the researchers in the fight against this disease is a detailed study of the genome of the virus, consideration of vaccination measures against smallpox monkeys and its treatment. The question arises: What is the severity of monkey pox for humanity, can it pose the same danger as in the XX century, when measures were taken at the international level to combat smallpox? In this article, presented on the basis of the collected new scientific data and literary reviews, we will get answers to a number of such topical questions.
