Monkey-pox is a disease that feasts from animals to humans, caused by the MPXV virus, related to smallpox. It reappeared in Nigeria in 2017 (Bayelsa) after 39 years without cases and later spread to other countries in 2018 and 2019. Experts believe it may be filling the gap left by smallpox. This review looks at what we currently know about how monkey-pox spreads and affects humans, cells, and the virus itself. Monkey-pox is similar to smallpox and can lead to serious health problems. However, there are no clear treatment guidelines yet, especially in poorer areas, which can lead to long illness and complications. To improve treatment, we need a better understanding of symptoms, risks, and how severe the infection can get. Studies in animals, especially monkeys, help guide treatment options and drug development. These experiments often used strong methods to mimic serious cases like smallpox. Research also shows that monkey-pox patients may benefit from supportive care--like preventing infections, keeping the body hydrated, and protective delicate areas alike the eyes and genitals. A general care plan focused on monkey-pox needs to be created, tested, and adjusted to fit different healthcare settings, including the use of antiviral drugs.
