Spread of Monkeypox Across Different Regions

Monkeypox, a virus related to smallpox, traditionally found in Central Africa, has been causing outbreaks in Europe, North America, Australia, and the Middle East, primarily through close physical contact. Despite not being a sexually transmitted disease, it has followed the social and sexual networks of gay men globally, leading to concerns about stigmatization and discrimination similar to past infectious disease crises where specific communities were scapegoated.
