The monkeypox virus can be transmitted to humans through infected animals. Transmission from person to person is possible, but rare. Early symptoms include high fever, swollen lymph nodes, and chickenpox-like rash. Although there is no specific treatment, vaccination against smallpox has been found to be 85 percent effective in preventing monkeypox.
