मंकी पॉक्स क्या है?
मंकीपॉक्स वायरस से होने वाली बीमारी है जिसे 'मंकीपॉक्स वायरस' के नाम से जाना जाता है। यह मुख्य रूप से जानवरों (आम तौर पर चूहे और बंदर की प्रजातियां) को संक्रमित करता है, लेकिन उनसे मनुष्यों को भी लग सकता है। मंकीपॉक्स वायरस के 2 प्रकार (या क्लैड) होते हैं।
1. पश्चिम अफ़्रीकी (West African) क्लैड: इससे हुई बीमारी कम गंभीर होती है।
2. मध्य अफ्रीकी (Central African) या कांगो बेसिन (Congo Basin) क्लैड: यह ज्यादा गंभीर बीमारी कर सकता है।
