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 l’autre, 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. De manière générale, le taux de létalité dans les épidémies de variole du singe est de 1 à 10 %, mais avec des soins appropriés, la plupart des patients se rétablissent.

The goal of the global outbreak response for monkeypox is to stop human-to-human transmission of monkeypox, with a priority focus on communities at high risk of exposure which may differ according to context, and to effectively use strong public health measures to prevent onward spread of the diseas...e. Judicious use of vaccines can support this response. This interim guidance, developed with the advice and support of the Strategic Advisory Group of Experts (SAGE) Working Group on smallpox and monkeypox vaccines, provides the first WHO recommendations on vaccines and immunization for monkeypox.

جُدري القردة مرضٌ معدٍ مستجدٌ، يسبِّبه فيروس ينتقل إلى البشر من الحيوانات المصابة، التي تكون من القوارض في أغلب الأحيان. ويمكن أن تنتشر العدوى به إلى أشخاص آخرين، إ...ا أن انتقال العدوى من شخص إلى آخر لا يمكن أن يؤدي وحده بسهولة إلى حدوث فاشية. ولا تختلف المظاهر السريرية عن تلك التي شوهدت في الماضي مع الجدري، إلا أنها أقل وخامة. وقد تم استئصال الجدري في جميع أنحاء العالم في عام 1980، إلا أن جُدري القردة لا يزال يظهر بشكل متقطِّع في أجزاءٍ من وسط وغرب أفريقيا بالقرب من الغابات الاستوائية المطيرة. ويتراوح معدل إماتة الحالات في فاشيات جُدري القردة ما بين 1-10%، إلا أنه مع الرعاية الملائمة، يتعافى أغلب المرضى. وتوفر هذه الدورة التدريبية مقدمةً عامةً عن جُدري القردة، وهي موجهة إلى العاملين الصحيين المسؤولين عن الوقاية من مرض

A varíola dos macacos é uma doença infeciosa emergente causada por um vírus transmitido aos humanos por animais infetados, na sua maioria roedores. Pode ser propagado a outras pessoas, mas a transmissão de pessoa para pessoa, isoladamente, não pode facilmente sustentar um surto. A apresentaç...o clínica é semelhante à observada no passado com a varíola, mas menos grave. A varíola foi erradicada mundialmente em 1980; no entanto, a varíola dos macacos ainda ocorre esporadicamente em partes da África Central e Ocidental, perto das florestas tropicais húmidas. Normalmente, a mortalidade nos surtos da varíola dos macacos tem sido de 1 a 10%, mas com os cuidados adequados, a maioria dos doentes recupera. Este curso fornece uma introdução geral à varíola dos macacos e destina-se aos profissionais de saúde responsáveis pela prevenção e controlo da varíola dos macacos.

La viruela del mono es una enfermedad transmisible emergente causada por un virus que se transmite a los seres humanos a partir de animales infectados, generalmente roedores. Puede contagiarse a otras personas, pero la transmisión de persona a persona por sí sola no es capaz de mantener un brote. ...La presentación clínica es similar a la observada en el pasado con la viruela, pero menos grave. La viruela fue erradicada en el mundo en 1980; sin embargo, la viruela del mono sigue produciéndose esporádicamente en partes de África Central y Occidental, cerca de las selvas tropicales. Normalmente, la letalidad en los brotes de viruela del mono ha sido del 1 al 10%, pero con los cuidados adecuados, la mayoría de los pacientes se recupera. Este curso ofrece una introducción general a la viruela del mono y está dirigido al personal sanitario responsable de la prevención y el control de la viruela del mono.

Monkeypox is a rare viral zoonotic disease caused by a double stranded DNA virus that belongs to the Orthopoxvirus genus of the Poxviridae family.
L’orthopoxvirus simien ou virus de la variole du singe (MPXV), est un virus à ADN double brin qui appartient au genre Orthopoxvirus de la famille
des Poxviridés. Les poxvirus causent des maladies chez l’espèce humaine et beaucoup d’autres animaux ; l’infection se manifeste généralement... par la formation de lésions, de nodules cutanés ou d’une éruption cutanée disséminée. Les autres espèces d’orthopoxvirus (OPXV) pathogènes pour l’être humain comprennent le virus de la variole bovine et le virus variolique (responsable de la variole, qui a été éradiquée). Le virus de la vaccine est également un OPXV qui a été utilisé pour la vaccination humaine, et a été un outil essentiel pour l’éradication de la variole, obtenue en 1980. Le MPXV doit son nom au fait qu’il a été identifié pour la première fois chez le singe. Le MPXV se retrouve principalement chez les rongeurs, mais son réservoir reste indéterminé. Il existe deux clades connus du MPXV, l’un endémique en Afrique de l’Ouest, et l’autre dans la région du bassin du Congo.
