In May 2022, an outbreak of Monkeypox was reported in the UK [1]. Soon after, more cases were confirmed worldwide. Monkeypox, a zoonotic DNA virus in the genus Orthopoxvirus from the Poxviridae family, is endemic previously only within western and central Africa. With the relaxed travel restrictions and possibly the discontinuation of smallpox (from the same genus) vaccination, the number of Monkeypox confirmed cases grows quickly.
