The Scientific Basis of Monkeypox: Features, Prevention, and Treatments advances understanding of monkeypox and provides a framework for future research with evidence-based and forward-looking content. Content makes use of modeling systems and current experiences derived from case studies to provide material that is cross-disciplinary, bridging interdisciplinary divides. Furthermore, consideration is given to the behavioral response to monkeypox infection, including barriers to vaccination. Each chapter contains structured content, including policy and procedures, applications to new or emerging communicable diseases, a mini dictionary of terms, and summary points.Chapter contributions are from leading national and international specialists, including those from world renowned institutions who provide a global perspective. The book is a perfect reference for specialists in infectious diseases, virologists, microbiologists, health scientists, public health workers, doctors, pharmacologists, and research scientists.
- Summarizes monkeypox using evidenced based ethos
- Provides practical details, recommendations, and suggestions for research, prevention, and treatment: from cells to policy
- Presents forward-thinking application to new and emerging communicable diseases
