They were also advised to avoid contact with dead animals to reduce the possibility of contracting the Mpox virus.

The president of the Association of Resident Doctors, University of Ilorin Teaching Hospital (ARD-UITH) in Kwara State, Dr Yusuf Muhammed gave the advice while speaking with LEADERSHIP in Ilorin.

Muhammed explained that Mpox is a zoonotic infection that affects animals and can be transferred to humans.

“Mpox is not entirely new, but at some points, new strains commonly appear, and in recent times, the World Health Organization (WHO) has sent a warning that the strain that is currently detected is a new one.

“The fear is that the antibody that humans have may not be able to protect against it like the strain that occur before. This pose significant threat to people and everybody should be on the lookout,” he said.

He described monkey pox as a viral disease related to the now-eradicated smallpox virus.

Muhammed said that the initial symptoms are typically flu-like; including fever, chills, exhaustion, headache and muscle weakness, often followed by a painful or itchy rash with raised lesions that scab over.

He, however, advised Nigerians not to panic, but to report suspected cases to the nearest health facilities where proper investigation and contact tracing can be done.
