prevention of monkeypox

The prevention of monkeypox.

Scientific studies are in progress to determine the feasibility and effectiveness of vaccination to control and prevent the spread of the disease.


Number 1. Eliminating the risk of human-to-human transmission.
The monitoring of cases and the quick identification of new cases is crucial in ensuring the containment of outbreaks. In the case of human monkeypox outbreaks close contact with people who are infected is the main risk factor for monkeypox infection. Members of the household and health care workers are more susceptible to being infected. Health professionals caring for patients suffering from suspected or confirmed monkeypox infection, or who handle specimens from them, should follow the standard precautions for infection control. If it is possible, people who have been vaccination-free against smallpox should be chosen to take care of the patient.


Number 2. Eliminating the chance of transmission by zoonotic.
In the course of time, most human illnesses have been the result of the primary transmission of disease from animal to human. Contact with wild animals that are not protected particularly those dead or sick, as well as their blood, meat, and other organs should be avoided. In addition, any food that contains animal products or animal parts should be cooked thoroughly prior to eating.


Number 3. Eliminating monkeypox by limiting trading in animals.
Certain nations have enacted rules that limit the entry of rodents as well as non-human primates. Animals that are captive and potentially affected by monkeypox must be kept away from any other animal and put in immediate quarantine. Any animal that has been in contact with an animal infected should be placed in quarantine, treated according to standard procedures, and monitored for signs of monkeypox for a period of 30 days.
