What causes a trans-species jump in viruses?
naturally, a virus being semi-alive, will adapt, as the rest of the world keeps spinning, to avoid extinction. who knows, maybe the influenza we know today, was a virus that made a trans-species jump from Dinosaurs to birds millions of years ago; and thousands of years ago, it jumped from birds to humans. Survival is the basic force of life, even for a virus. However, trans-species jumps take millions, maybe even billions of years of evolution. The frequency of trans-species jump in the last century (AIDS, from monkeys to humans, H1N1 influenza virus from swine to humans, monkeypox from monkeys to humans) leaves me with a bad taste in my mouth... human meddlin' perhaps? -Abelardo Lopez III if you have any questions, you may contact me at Alopezz16@gmail.com.
How do you get monkeypox?
Monkeypox is a rare viral disease that can be contracted through close contact with infected animals, such as rodents or primates, or through contact with the bodily fluids or lesions of infected individuals. It can also be transmitted from person to person through respiratory droplets. Outbreaks of monkeypox have been reported in central and western Africa.
What causes of monkeypox?
monkeypox is when you analy do a monkey up the bum and at the same time finger a elephant after you have done tht you finger and analy a women after this the women will have monkeypox which is a hairy crusty fanny !
What body systems does monkeypox affect?
The varicella-zoster virus enters through the respiratory system and colonizes the upper respiratory tract. Initial replication is in the nasopharynx and lymph nodes. Four to six days later, the virus spreads through the circulatory system to the cells of the spleen and liver, and to the dorsal nerve ganglia, where it remains for life.After a week the virus travels to the viscera and skin, causing the typical skin lesions.the chicken pox effects the nervous system (the nerves to be exact), the integumentary system (the skin), and i think that about covers it.oh and the lymphatic system.
What virus affects monkeys other primates and rodents?

How do you prevent the spread of monkeypox?
To prevent the spread of monkeypox, it is important to practice good hygiene, such as washing hands frequently, avoiding close contact with infected individuals, and wearing protective clothing when handling animals that may carry the virus. Additionally, getting vaccinated against smallpox can help protect against monkeypox, as the two viruses are closely related.

How is monkey pox diagnosed?
A preliminary diagnosis is made based on clinical presentations which may include fever, nausea, vomiting and rash. The rash may progress to pock lesions which are distributed on the head, face and extremities (centrifugal rash). These features are identical to smallpox. A distinguishing feature of monkeypox is lymphadenopathy (swelling of the lymph nodes at the neck, armpits or groin). Suspected exposure to an infected animal (usually a rodent) or infected person may aid in the diagnosis. Monkeypox may be misdiagnosed as measles or chickenpox. To confirm monkeypox,a blood sample is taken and analyzed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) which detects even very low quantities of the monkeypox virus DNA. Specific DNA sequences unique to monkeypox allow the distinction from other poxviruses such as vaccinia, cowpox, and variola (smallpox) that also may cause similar disease symptoms. In addition, the blood may be tested for antibodies to poxviruses although this will not allow a distinction between poxviruses.
What diseases do monkeys have?
Macaque monkeys do indeed spread disease. These animals spread a harsh disease known as monkeypox.
Does monkey pox go through lytic cycle?
The monkeypox virus does go through a lytic cycle in order to replicate. This virus is a zoonotic disease that can affect both animals and humans.
