Mpox (formerly known as monkeypox) is a viral illness. It was initially identified in 1958 in research monkeys. However, it is now also known to occur in other wild animal species, with the first human case identified in 1970 in Congo (DRC). Since then, two virus types called clades are known to be endemic (occur commonly) in Central and West Africa.
