La viruela del mono ya era conocida desde hace varias décadas en una decena de países africanos. Entre sus síntomas están la fiebre y las lesiones corporales.

Pero la novedad es que este año se extendió a otros continentes. Actualmente, el número de casos supera los 35.000 y también se han registrado las primeras muertes por esta enfermedad.

¿Sexualmente transmisible ?

Investigadores han sido cautelosos en catalogarla como enfermedad de transmisión sexual, pero está demostrado que contagios están principalmente relacionados al sexo.

¿Transmisión a los animales ?

[{"selector":"#anim-fc23e598-770a-4fa8-9d9b-dfca0031d030","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-2708cadc-de0b-455e-bb5c-fc09629b2b4e","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-106.73854%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Originalmente, la viruela del mono se identificó como una enfermedad que se transmitía a los humanos por medio de animales, más bien roedores y raramente primates.

El alto nivel de transmisión de persona a persona es una característica nueva. Pero aún queda por ver si los humanos pueden transmitir la enfermedad a los animales.

¿Son eficaces las vacunas?

[{"selector":"#anim-ad163cb6-f21e-4314-af55-9b1ff46f2bb5","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-c3873a90-d2c4-4b6d-97a2-80d7fca80b27","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-106.73854%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Numerosos países han iniciado campañas de vacunación. Pero estas vacunas en contra de la viruela no fueron desarrolladas específicamente en contra de la viruela del mono.

[{"selector":"#anim-3eff7beb-1dc9-49e3-830c-47528d1d8092","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-1201166c-a144-4773-9fdd-a20d4e92c30a","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-106.73854%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Por lo tanto, su nivel de eficacia sigue sin estar claro, aunque no cabe duda de que proporciona cierto nivel de protección.
