Monkeypox is a disease caused by the monkeypox virus. It's a viral zoonotic infection, meaning it can spread from animals to humans, as well as from person to person.

At the beginning of May this year, the United Kingdom reported confirmed cases of monkeypox, and other European and American countries reported monkeypox cases one after another, and the epidemic spread rapidly in many parts of the world.

On July 23,2022, the World Health Organization announced that the monkeypox epidemic was listed as a "Public Health Emergency of International Concern", its highest level of alert for a global public health emergency, meaning it is currently at that level for both COVID-19 and monkeypox outbreaks. 

As of August 8,2022, 30,580 cases of monkeypox have been reported in 85 countries or regions around the world,posing a great challenge to human health and social stability.
