Why This Matters

This study highlights the potential for zoonotic transmission of MPXV from fire-footed rope squirrels to sooty mangabeys, emphasizing the importance of understanding animal reservoirs in managing monkeypox outbreaks. It underscores the need for vigilant monitoring of wildlife interactions to prevent cross-species transmission that could impact human health. Such insights are crucial for developing effective disease control strategies and preventing future zoonotic spillovers in the tech-driven world of data collection and surveillance.
