Mathematical modeling of mpox: A scoping review

The ongoing infodemic (the increased volume of misinformation, disinformation, rumors, and conspiracy theories about diseases, that occurs primarily in social media [45] ) has had a significant impact on the dynamics of current outbreak, as it is known that this problematic has led to changes in behaviour in certain individuals while increasing the stigmatization of marginalized communities that have been disproportionately affected, as in the case of men who have sex with men (MSM) [25] , [10] .

Factors Influencing Monkeypox Vaccination: A Cue to Policy Implementation
