About Monkeypox:
The monkeypox virus (MPV or MPXV) is a DNA virus that causes monkeypox in humans and other animals. It belongs to the family Poxviridae and the genus Orthopoxvirus. It’s a human orthopoxvirus that also includes the variola (VARV), cowpox (CPX), and vaccinia (VACV) viruses. It is neither a direct ancestor nor a direct descendant of the smallpox-causing variola virus. Smallpox is comparable to monkeypox, except it has a milder rash and a lower mortality rate.
