Monkeypox
Monkeypox is a virus that causes fever symptoms as well as a distinctive bumpy rash. It is usually mild, although there are two main strains: the Congo strain, which is more severe — with up to 10 percent mortality — and the West African strain, which has a fatality rate of more like 1 percent of cases. First found in monkeys in 1958, the virus spreads through close contact, both in spillovers from animal hosts and, less commonly, between humans.
