Mpox (formerly known as Monkeypox) is a rare disease that is caused by infection with mpox virus, of which there are two distinct clades (genetic types) identified. Mpox belongs to the Orthopox genus, which also includes the viruses that cause smallpox and cowpox. Mpox is of public health concern because the illness is similar to smallpox and can be spread from infected humans, animals, and materials contaminated with the virus.
