摘要Monkeypox is a viral zoonosis which was first identified in 1958 in a laboratory monkey. Recently it appeared in the United Kingdom and was claimed as an noticeable infectious disease. It has spread with increasing cases to non-African countries including Canada. In this talk, I will present a modelling study to assess the risk of monkeypox in Canada. Using one health approach, we establish a dynamical model to mimic the spreading of the virus in humans, rodents, and non-human primates and distinguish the human population as higher and low-risk groups. While the animal reservoir is the key element in the modelling of zoonosis disease, we will emphasize the role and transmission of the virus in high-risk group of man-to-man sexual connected humans. Using the modelling, I will present our preliminary results on the risk assessment of the virus in Canada, I will also discuss to identify public health measures that need to be enforced to contain the spread to prevent any potential emerging outbreak. We also investigate the animal monkeypox infections will exarate the monkeypox transmission risk among the population and discuss the importance of surveillance of animal infection of monkeypox to predict the possible monkeypox outbreak.
