Widespread cognizance survey of epidemic Monkey-Pox Infection
Abstract
Monkey-Pox is a viral zoonotic disease (a virus transmitted to humans by animals) with symptoms similar to those experienced by smallpox patients in the past, but it is clinically less severe. Monkey-Pox has emerged as the most important orthopoxvirus for public health since the eradication of smallpox in 1980 and the subsequent cessation of smallpox vaccination. Monkey-Pox is primarily found in central and western Africa, often near tropical rain forests, and is becoming more common in urban areas. The awareness survey was carried out between 1st July to 15th August. A self-created questionnaire was administered and distributed via social media. Our study was both cost-effective and time-efficient. The questions concerned were about basic preventive measures for monkey pox. Microsoft-Excel software was used to record and analyze the response. A scientific evaluation of the viability and suitability of vaccination for the prevention and control of Monkey-Pox is now being conducted in various places. Some nations have policies in place or are creating them to provide vaccines to people who may be at risk, including laboratory staff, members of quick reaction teams, and health care professionals and other citizens. This survey depicts the awareness of Monkey-Pox and has illustrated every point with pie chart with appropriate results.
