La variole du singe est une maladie infectieuse émergente causée par un virus transmis par des animaux infectés, le plus souvent des rongeurs. Elle peut ensuite se propager d’une personne à lautre, mais la transmission de personne à personne ne peut à elle seule entretenir une éclosion. La présentation clinique est semblable à celle observée chez les patients atteints autrefois de la variole, mais moins grave. La variole a été éradiquée dans le monde entier en 1980. Cependant, la variole du singe est encore présente sporadiquement dans des régions d'Afrique centrale et occidentale, près des forêts tropicales humides.

Monkeypox is an emerging infectious disease caused by a virus transmitted to humans from infected animals, most commonly rodents. It can be spread to other people but person-to-person transmission alone cannot easily sustain an outbreak. The clinical presentation is similar to that seen in the past with smallpox but less severe. Smallpox was eradicated worldwide in 1980; however, monkeypox still occurs sporadically in parts of Central and West Africa, near tropical rainforests. Typically, case fatality in monkeypox outbreaks has been 1-10% but with appropriate care, most patients will recover. This course provides a general introduction to monkeypox and is intended for health personnel responsible for prevention and control of monkeypox ... more
