In 2008, a research study stated that if unvaccinated populations were to become exposed to monkeypox, then an epidemic could occur. It is similar to smallpox, as both come from the orthopoxvirus family. However, it is not as contagious or deadly as smallpox is. There is a chance that disease could replace smallpox as a widespread virus.
