La variole du singe est une maladie infectieuse émergente causée par un virus transmis par des animaux infectés, le plus souvent des rongeurs. Elle peut ensuite se propager d’une personne à l’autre, mais la transmission de personne à personne ne peut à elle seule entretenir une éclosion. ...La présentation clinique est semblable à celle observée chez les patients atteints autrefois de la variole, mais moins grave. La variole a été éradiquée dans le monde entier en 1980. Cependant, la variole du singe est encore présente sporadiquement dans des régions d'Afrique centrale et occidentale, près des forêts tropicales humides. De manière générale, le taux de létalité dans les épidémies de variole du singe est de 1 à 10 %, mais avec des soins appropriés, la plupart des patients se rétablissent.
