جُدري القردة مرضٌ معدٍ مستجدٌ، يسبِّبه فيروس ينتقل إلى البشر من الحيوانات المصابة، التي تكون من القوارض في أغلب الأحيان. ويمكن أن تنتشر العدوى به إلى أشخاص آخرين، إ...ا أن انتقال العدوى من شخص إلى آخر لا يمكن أن يؤدي وحده بسهولة إلى حدوث فاشية. ولا تختلف المظاهر السريرية عن تلك التي شوهدت في الماضي مع الجدري، إلا أنها أقل وخامة. وقد تم استئصال الجدري في جميع أنحاء العالم في عام 1980، إلا أن جُدري القردة لا يزال يظهر بشكل متقطِّع في أجزاءٍ من وسط وغرب أفريقيا بالقرب من الغابات الاستوائية المطيرة. ويتراوح معدل إماتة الحالات في فاشيات جُدري القردة ما بين 1-10%، إلا أنه مع الرعاية الملائمة، يتعافى أغلب المرضى. وتوفر هذه الدورة التدريبية مقدمةً عامةً عن جُدري القردة، وهي موجهة إلى العاملين الصحيين المسؤولين عن الوقاية من مرض

Where are the outbreaks? What is monkeypox? Recongnizing monkeypox and more. An update on the monkeypox outbreak including protection, diagnosis, treatment.
Cases of monkeypox (MPX) acquired in the EU have recently been reported in nine EU Member States (Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, and the Netherlands).
Monkeypox (MPX) does not spread easily between people. Human-to-human transmission occurs through close contact ...with infectious material from skin lesions of an infected person, through respiratory droplets in prolonged face-to-face contact, and through fomites. The predominance, in the current outbreak, of diagnosed human MPX cases among men having sex with men (MSM), and the nature of the presenting lesions in some cases, suggest transmission occurred during sexual intercourse

Nach dem derzeitigen Informationsstand sind aktuell humane Infektionen durch das Affenpockenvirus (monkeypox virus, MPX) in einigen Regionen der Welt einschließlich mehreren europäischen Ländern aufgetreten. Die Daten belegen eine Mensch-zu-Mensch-Übertragung unter bestimmten Bedingungen. Die Ü...bertragung von MPX von Mensch zu Mensch erfolgt in der Regel durch engen Haut- bzw. Schleimhautkontakt mit infektiösem Material aus den Hautläsionen einer infizierten Person, sowie – seltener – durch respiratorische Tröpfchen/Sekrete z.B. bei längerem Kontakt von Angesicht zu Angesicht oder durch kontaminierte Gegenstände und Oberflächen. Bei diesem Erreger ist besonders zu beachten, dass Partikel des Affenpockenvirus eingebettet in Sekreten bzw. getrocknet an Hautschuppen bzw. Schorfpartikeln für längere Zeiträume infektiös sein können, was eine sorgfältige und umfassende Reinigung und Desinfektion der Patientenumgebung bzw. der Oberflächen notwendig macht.
