The world recently received an unexpected visitor: monkeypox! Yes, that’s right! The World Health Organisation (WHO) has waved its warning flag, declaring monkeypox a “public health emergency of international concern” (PHEIC). This doesn’t mean you should pack up your bags and run for the hills, but it sure should make you sit up and pay attention. The alarming rise in cases, particularly in African countries, prompted WHO Director-General Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus to take this significant step, urging the global community to pull together, much like friends pooling their resources for a weekend getaway.
But just exactly what is this monkeypox? No, it’s not some sort of banana-loving creature from your favorite wildlife documentary. Monkeypox is a viral infection caused by the orthopoxvirus, sharing its viral family with the infamous smallpox. Symptoms can include fever, swollen lymph nodes, and a painfully itchy rash that looks like an overzealous artist got a bit too creative with the paintbrush! The current surge in the Democratic Republic of the Congo has started to raise eyebrows, and its ripple effects have reached neighboring countries.
As the WHO launches an urgent call for submissions of monkeypox vaccines, organizations like Gavi and UNICEF are ready to hop on board the vaccine train! The Emergency Use Listing (EUL) process should expedite vaccine procurement and distribution, making sure everyone on the planet is covered by a strong health umbrella against this unexpected guest.
Now, here’s where it gets even more interesting: Did you know that monkeypox was first discovered in monkeys (hence the name) in 1958? However, its real origins lie in rodents, making this viral troublemaker a bit of a nomad! And here’s a fun fact to ponder: While it can be transmitted between humans, monkeypox outbreaks are generally much less contagious compared to smallpox. So, while monkeypox is making quite the splash, it's not looking to hijack any dance floors like its viral successors. Let’s keep informed and stay healthy!
