Benjamin Davido, Emma D’Anglejan, Juliette Jourdan, Amelie Robinault, Guillaume Davido
Abstract
Description of the monkeypox 2022 outbreak is essentially based on historical cases mostly observed locally in Africa, but also from rare imported cases in four countries elsewhere, before the 2022 outbreak. This orthopoxvirus outbreak appears to be particularly well transmitted sexually possibly due to the high prevalence of genital lesions.
