Abstract

While the COVID-19 pandemic continues, the world is on high alert regarding the second public health threat of a global monkeypox outbreak. Monkeypox, a relative of smallpox, is a zoonotic disease that was initially restricted to Africa. However, a novel outbreak has occurred in Europe, a non-endemic region, starting in May 2022. In the face of this unprecedented event, people should be aware of several crucial facts regarding monkeypox to support global public health prevention and control of the outbreak, including pathogenetic epidemiological and diagnostic aspects. As the cases outside Africa rapidly increase, including in a large proportion of men who have sex with men, thinking about the potential effects on global public health, as well as the shifting epidemiological trends of monkeypox and the insights from this novel outbreak, will be crucial.
新的猴痘爆发:我们应该知道和反思什么?
在COVID-19大流行持续的同时,世界对全球猴痘疫情的第二次公共卫生威胁保持高度警惕。猴痘是天花的近亲,是一种最初局限于非洲的人畜共患疾病。然而,从2022年5月开始,在非流行区域欧洲发生了新的疫情。面对这一前所未有的事件,人们应该了解有关猴痘的几个关键事实,以支持全球公共卫生预防和控制疫情,包括发病流行病学和诊断方面。随着非洲以外的病例迅速增加,包括在男男性行为者中占很大比例,考虑对全球公共卫生的潜在影响、猴痘流行病学趋势的变化以及从这一新的疫情中获得的启示将是至关重要的。
