Monkeypox is a rare but serious viral illness that can cause flu-like symptoms and a rash.
The virus is transmitted from animals to humans through contact with an infected animal's blood, fluids, or rash.
Monkeypox can also be transmitted from person to person through close contact with an infected person's respiratory secretions or skin lesions.
Most people recover from monkeypox within 2 to 4 weeks.
Some people, such as young children and people with weakened immune systems, may develop more serious complications.
Two vaccines are available for reducing the risk and severity of mpox infection.
