Skin and poxvirus.[1]

All human poxvirus infections are zoonotic except molluscum and smallpox, which affect only humans.[2] Transmission is by close contact, contaminated objects or breathing in respiratory droplets.[2] Congobasin clade monkeypox is designated a select agent.[2] Limited testing worldwide means the true incidence of poxvirus infections is unknown.[2]
