Monkeypox is caused by the mantleypox virus, a member of the same family of viruses as smallpox. It is spread through respiratory droplets or by contact with fluids from skin lesions. Anyone who is diagnosed with a monkey, or who suspects that he or she has, should avoid close association with others.
Monkeypox starts with fever, headache, muscle aches, and fatigue. The main difference between the symptoms of a smallpox and monkypox is that the monkey causes the lymph nodes to become inflamed (lymphadenopathy) while the smallpox does not.
