“…This might be due to the recent pandemic of COVID-19, during which taking precautionary measures were the sole mode of protection all over the world before the vaccine’s introduction. 57 The other reason for good practices could be recent alerts from WHO and CDC.…”

Background: Monkeypox, a re-emerging zoonotic infectious disease, is striking the world with serious public health concerns, especially in non-endemic countries. The public's knowledge and attitude toward the monkeypox virus (MPXV) influence their adherence to preventive strategies. Therefore, we aimed to assess the general public's knowledge, attitudes, and perceptions (KAP) of MPXV in Pakistan. Methods: We collected data for this cross-sectional study from 1040 participants via an online self-reported questionnaire from 5th July 2022 to 1st August 2022. The questionnaire consisted of a total of 29 items in four sections, assessing socio-demographics, knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding MPXV. The data was analyzed using IBM SPSS V.25, and factors associated with MPXV knowledge, attitude, and practices were identified by using logistic regression analyses. Results: A total of 1040 participants were included. 61.4% were male and 57.2% had graduation level education. Only 34.4% had good knowledge about MPXV and 30% were aware of effectiveness of smallpox vaccine against MPXV. 41.7% had positive attitude with 48.6% agreed that it is a fatal disease and 44.6% were in favor of banning travelling from endemic to non-endemic regions.57.7% had good practices and 69.9% would use protective measures if MPXV become an epidemic. Binary logistic regression analysis revealed that gender and education significantly impacted knowledge (p<0.05). While monthly income status had a significant impact on attitudes (p<0.05). The practices were correlated positively with gender and education (p<0.05). Conclusion: The majority of study participants had inadequate levels of knowledge, and attitudes regarding MPXV. To prevent the emergence and spread of MPXV in Pakistan, a comprehensive strategic framework for public health education must be established and implemented.

“…Although it is quite unlikely that this outbreak will reach the proportion of a pandemic [ 42 ], several regions such as Central and Western Europe have been declared at a high risk and monkeypox has also become a public health concern in high-income countries [ 8 ]. Therefore, concerns are raising about the safety of workers that may be occupationally exposed to the virus, especially in light of the lessons learned from COVID-19 [ 43 ]. The findings of this scoping review show that occupational transmission is possible and has occurred several times in healthcare and veterinarian settings during past outbreaks in Africa and in the US.…”

With ongoing climate change, which alters the conditions for pathogens and vectors, zoonotic diseases such as monkeypox virus will become a challenge and a great threat impacting global health in future decades. A current outbreak of monkeypox is occurring in over 125 countries, with a report of thousands of cases in countries where this virus has never appeared. Occupational exposure to the monkeypox virus has recently been identified as an issue of major concern for occupational health, especially in healthcare settings. A scoping review following the PRISMA guidelines was performed, aiming to analyze the effects that the current monkeypox outbreak has in workplaces, given the potential exposure of healthcare workers to the virus, the possible spread of the virus in occupational settings, and the preventive measures that are necessary to implement. At the end of the selection process, 21 studies were included in the review. Healthcare workers are considered at a high risk, and similar preventive measures to those adopted during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic must be implemented in all healthcare settings. The main recommendations for preventing and managing monkeypox in occupational settings are the vaccination of exposed workers, the prompt identification and isolation of infected individuals, and good hygiene practices. Education and specific training are necessary in non-endemic countries to make healthcare workers able to recognize the disease and prevent further contagions. Although monkeypox seems unlikely to reach the pandemic spread of COVID-19, an approach to global health even to avoid future zoonotic epidemics is required by all stakeholders.

“…Multiple studies about the 2022 outbreak of the monkey pox virus disease were discussed. For example, Hemati et al proposed useful study of the using of procedures which were taken of the spreading of the corona virus disease 2019 [27]. de Jonge et al found in Netherland that there is deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) of the monkey pox virus in the wastewater samples [28].…”

Background A recent outbreak of the monkey pox virus disease (MPVD) started to spread over the world before the second half of the 2022 year. This outbreak of the monkey pox virus disease is known as the 2022 outbreak of the monkey pox virus disease. The monkey pox virus disease is a type of the pox disease similar to the human one. This disease is an endemic in some African countries; however, a new spreading of this disease started to appear in other countries, such as the Spain, brazil, Greece, the United Kingdom, and Portugal, Australia, and the USA. As of the end of September 2022, the MPVD spread over than 107 countries over the world. Results This study focuses on the employing of the simplest model of the diseases forecasting which is SIRD model for the finding of the basic reproductive ratio of the monkey pox virus disease in multiple countries over the world where the disease spreads. The model takes into accounts the number of the susceptible people, the number of the infectious people, the number of the recovered people, and the number of the deceased people. Based on the results of the SIRD model coefficients, we find that the basic reproductive ratio values of the recent spreading of the monkey pox virus disease are 1.3274 for the United Kingdom where the first case of the disease was recorded, 1.0714 for the United Arab Emirates, 1.0866 for Nigeria, 1.5589 for Brazil, and 1.3610 for Canada. Conclusions We find that the average value of the basic reproductive ratio of the 2022 outbreak of the monkey pox virus disease is about 1.2809. This important result of our calculations predicts that the 2022 outbreak of the monkey pox virus disease is turned into pandemic over the world. The things which confirm this result, based on our calculations, are the values of the basic reproductive ratio of the 2022 outbreak of the disease in the considered countries from multiple continents where all the values of the basic reproductive ratio are bigger than one. From this point, the counties over the world must apply multiple procedures for limiting the spreading of the monkey pox virus disease. Graphical Abstract
