WHO declared the monkeypox outbreak as a Public Health Emergency of International Concern. It is evident that the clinicoepidemiology of the disease is evolving which may pose an obstacle in eliminating the disease. Moreover, potential evolution of the monkeypox virus could result in increased transmissibility, less susceptibility to innate and adaptive immunity in hosts, and enhanced virulence. It is therefore necessary to increase research efforts to close the gap of scientific knowledge and to optimize the surveillance and preparedness in combating monkeypox disease to avoid another pandemic. In this seminar, I will discuss the virological features, clinicoepidemiological characteristics of the monkeypox virus, vaccines and therapeutics for monkeypox virus infection, and its future implication in regards to basic science research and public health.
