Mpox can spread through physical contact with infected individuals, skin lesions and body fluids, contaminated materials and environments, or exposure to respiratory secretions. The virus can also spread from animals to humans, e.g. through bite or scratch from an infected animal, bush meat preparation, or direct contact with the blood, body fluids, or skin or mucosal lesions of infected animals.
