摘　　要：Since its first confirmation in London on 12 May 2022,many monkeypox cases have been reported worldwide.Noticeably,the epidemiology,pathology,and clinical features of the current emergence have been compared to those of smallpox,a severe contagious disease historically epidemic worldwide for nearly 3,000 years.However,some characteristics of the present outbreak differed from those of previous monkeypox outbreaks.Herein,we ask if this emergence of monkeypox could cause another global pandemic similar to smallpox or influenza or if it is only the re-emergence of a new strain.To address these questions,we reviewed its virology,transmission,clinical characteristics,experimental diagnosis,and prevention and intervention,giving our commentary along the way.
