Monkeypox outbreaks in non-endemic regions highlight the need for better understanding of this viral disease. This review summarizes current knowledge on monkeypox, identifying critical gaps for future research and public health strategies.
Area of Science:
- Virology
- Epidemiology
- Public Health
Background:
- Human monkeypox cases were identified in the UK on May 7, 2022, leading to multi-country outbreaks.
- Over 1800 cases were confirmed globally by late June 2022, with increasing numbers expected due to heightened surveillance.
- A scoping review is crucial to consolidate existing knowledge and identify research gaps regarding monkeypox.
Conclusions:
- The review provides a comprehensive overview of current monkeypox knowledge.
- Further research is essential to understand risk factors, genetics, and natural history.
- Findings will aid public health strategists in developing prevention and management strategies.
