Monkeypox: Old Foe, New Movements

Mpox, formerly known as monkeypox, has passed between mammals and humans for millennia, and it is likely to have originated in rodents. In this video, Dr. Agam Rao, an infectious disease specialist from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, shares her work tracking mpox outbreaks and offers the latest information to help us navigate this 2022 public health emergency. Educator Ashley Peery moderates the discussion.
