Monkeypox Virus (MPXV) Infection: A Review
Infect Disord Drug Targets. 2024 Jan 12. doi: 10.2174/0118715265258451231214063506. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTMonkeypox is a viral disease; its outbreak was recently declared a global emergency by the World Health Organization. For the first time, a monkeypox virus (MPXV)-infected patient was found in India. Various researchers back-to-back tried to find the solution to this health emergency just after COVID-19. In this review, we discuss the current outbreak status of India, its transmission, virulence factors, symptoms, treatment, and the preventive guidelines generated by the Indian Health Ministry. We found that mo...

From Farms to Pharma: A "Natural" History of Vaccine Production and Vaccine Skepticism
This article puts the relationship between vaccines and concepts like "nature" and "natural" in historical perspective. In the mid- to late 19th century, the smallpox vaccine, then the only vaccine available, was propagated on farms. Vaccine farmers-usually enterprising physicians-kept herds of cattle infected with cowpox, cultivating the virus "stock" from which the vaccine was derived. By exploring how vaccine farmers established and maintained public confidence in their products, we can see that debates over vaccine safety have always involved concerted efforts to persuade the public to place their trust in technologies...

Monkeypox: An outbreak of a rare viral disease
J Microbiol Immunol Infect. 2023 Dec 28:S1684-1182(23)00238-4. doi: 10.1016/j.jmii.2023.12.006. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTMonkeypox is a viral zoonotic disease rarely found outside Africa. Monkeypox can be spread from person to person through close contact with an infected person, and the rate of transmission is not very high. In addition, monkeypox and variola virus are both pox viruses, and the spread of monkeypox virus was also controlled to some extent by the smallpox campaign, so monkeypox was not widely paid attention to. However, as smallpox vaccination is phased out in various countries or regions, people's res...
