How is it transmitted?

灵长目大白病原是如何传布的？

Monkeypox is a zoonotic disease that can affect many animals, including rats, monkeys, rope squirrels and tree squirrels.

灵长目大白是一种哺乳类传染病，可以直接影响许多哺乳类，包括老鼠、灵长目子、绳索松鼠和树松鼠。

The animal reservoir is not known though rodents are the most likely suspects. Direct contact with the blood, fluids or lesions of infected animals can spread the disease to humans.

尽管啮齿类哺乳类是最无论如何的罪魁祸首，但是该病原的哺乳类宿主尚不清楚。直接接触受接种哺乳类的体内、人体内或病变才会将哮喘传布给生物。

However, it does not spread easily among people. Human-to-human transmission happens as a result of close contact – for example prolonged face-to-face contact, touching skin lesions or bodily fluids or from contaminated bedding and clothing.

然而，它不容易在人群中传布。人与人彼此之间通过已对才能传布，例如长时间的面对面接触、触摸皮肤损伤或人体内，或被污染的被褥和衣物。

Monkeypox is not a sexually transmitted disease, but infections can occur through intimate physical contact.

灵长目大白不是一种性传布哮喘，但可以通过亲密的身体接触遭遇接种。
