Abstract :Abstract Monkeypox virus (MPXV) is a zoonotic disease agent belonging to the Orthopoxvirus family. First discovered in monkeys in 1970, the virus was later detected in humans and became endemic in Central and West African countries. In 2022, MPXV turned into a global pandemic and was declared a Public Health Emergency of International Concern by the World Health Organisation. This review article comprehensively examines the current status of MPXV, its transmission routes, prevention strategies and implications for global health. The study highlights areas for future research and emphasises the importance of global collaboration against this emerging health threat. With the aim of raising awareness about MPXV, supporting informed decision-making and developing intervention strategies to reduce transmission, this review aims to contribute to efforts to protect public health.
