Large respiratory droplets can be transmitted from person to person during prolonged face-to-face contact, and congenital Mpox infection can also be transmitted through the placenta.…”

Background: The rising circulation of the monkeypox virus while the COVID-19 is still ongoing in non-endemic countries is a significant global health threat. In this article, we have discussed the epidemiology, aetiology, and pathogenesis of the monkeypox virus to provide our current knowledge of the disease. Also, we discussed the ongoing efforts of the international health organizations to curtail the present epidemic and we finally provide recommendations for early detection and response. Methods: We did a rapid literature search on PubMed, EMBASE, World Health Organization (WHO), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and other trusted databases for recent articles (1958-2022) published in English—focusing on the outbreaks of monkeypox disease, epidemiology, pathogenesis, aetiology, prevention, and control in endemic and non-endemic countries. Keywords such as "Monkeypox", "Monkeypox virus", "Poxviridae", "Orthopoxvirus", "Smallpox", and "Smallpox Vaccine" were considered in our search based on MESH medical subject headings. Results: Our review highlights four important findings. First, a cumulative of 1285 monkeypox cases have been documented and reported by the WHO in non-endemic countries as of June 8, 2022. Second, international travel contributes to the increase in cases in non-endemic countries. Third, the origin of the outbreak, the pattern of transmission, and the risk of infections is not fully understood. Fourth, there is an ongoing effort by the WHO, CDC, and other international health organization to control the spread of the monkeypox disease. Conclusion: Our findings underline the need to reassess research priorities on the origin, transmission pattern, and risk factors for infection of monkeypox. Also, we provide recommendations under the One Health spectrum to prevent further spread of the disease.

“…However, the potential diseases that affect livestock are what cause economic loss for farmers (Sakhare et al, 2019) [27] . Several newly emerging illnesses, such as monkeypox and the Sudan Ebola Virus, offer a danger of zoonotic transmission and are therefore a threat to animal populations (Rana et al, 2022;Patel et al, 2023a;Patel et al, 2023b) [24,22,23] . In addition to this, some well-known diseases that were previously assumed to be under control are still thriving.…”

Millions of farmers keep livestock for the purpose of milk production, and every year a wide variety of diseases, some of which can be fatal, cause illness in these animals. Even cattle and buffalo that have a significant threat of disease transmission. They are among the most susceptible people to the introduction of zoonotic diseases into the human population. Milk is in danger of running out in the not too distant future since both consumer demand and the dairy business are both on the rise. Dairy products are progressively used in more and more foods. Farmers take a financial hit each year as a result of illnesses that affect milking dairy animals; the scale of these losses can approach millions of dollars at the national level. At both the state and the national level, there needs to be a diseases control policy in order to put a stop to the losses. In addition to this, the tight interaction that exists between humans and the animals that they have domesticated presents the highest risk of the spread of a range of infectious diseases. The state animal department and the government of India need to conduct an active review of the situation across the state because the number of households that have milk animals has increased. They should also give the process of establishing new rules and putting them into practice the utmost significance, both with the purpose of strengthening the regulation of diseases that are prevalent among the population and with the purpose of reducing the risk of zoonotic transmission. The purpose of this review is to identify and put into effect those measures that will contribute significantly to the eradication of the cattle illnesses that are most prevalent. In this review, we provide a summary of the most prevalent livestock diseases, probable zoonotic diseases, and developing diseases, as well as present and potential regulations that ought to be put into place.

“…Yet, the economic losses that farmers experience are caused by the various diseases that harm cattle (Sakhare et al, 2019) [39] . There are a number of recently discovered diseases, such as monkeypox and the Sudan Ebola Virus that pose a risk of zoonotic transmission and are consequently a risk to animal populations (Rana et al, 2022;Patel et al, 2023a;Patel et al, 2023b) [38,[34][35] . Zoonotic diseases and animal diseases need to be monitored via surveillance in order for epidemiological data to be able to contribute to the creation of policies.…”

India's most valuable resource is its livestock population. Farmers that raise livestock are almost entirely reliant on animals for a variety of reasons. India is one of the countries that has the greatest population of livestock in the world. In a similar vein, India has been cited as the source of numerous reports of diseases affecting livestock over the course of many years. Farmers are required to have an understanding of the various diseases that can affect bovine and equine animals. This will allow them to be aware of the etiology of the diseases as well as the pattern of disease transmission, allowing them to make the necessary preparations to prevent and control the diseases. Many diseases, including bovine rotaviral diarrhoea, bovine mastitis, bovine brucellosis, bovine herpes viral infection, and equine piroplasmosis and equine herpes viral infection, among others, are regularly reported from India. The purpose of this review is to provide an overview of the bovine and equine illnesses that are widespread in India from an epidemiological standpoint and to do so in a concise manner.
