Monkeypox is a viral infection with person-to-person
transmission through direct contact or fomites
The virus is endemic to West and Central Africa.1
Animal-to-human transmission may initiate outbreaks, and person-to-person transmission
occurs through direct, close contact with a person during their infectious
stage through droplets, contact with infectious bodily fluids or via fomites
(e.g., linens). Airborne transmission is thought to be less common.
