The monkeypox virus is a dual-stranded DNA virus that infects humans and other animals. It originally belonged to the Orthopoxvirus genus and the Poxviridae family. It is a human Orthopoxvirus, along with variola, cowpox, and vaccinia viruses. It is neither a progenitor nor a successor of the variola virus, which causes smallpox. Monkeypox is similar to smallpox but has a milder rash and a lesser mortality rate.
