A dog caught monkeypox from its owner

Plus: Man plunges to his death when crossing an open drawbridge Aug 22, 2022 [Blueprint]( From monkeys, to humans, to dogs… A dog in Paris has [caught monkeypox from one of its owners]( both of whom were infected with the virus, according to a scientific paper published on August 10, 2022. This is the first case of a dog contracting the monkeypox virus through direct contact with skin lesions on a human. Until recently, most monkeypox infections occurred in specific areas of Africa, where some wildlife species act as reservoirs for the virus. These outbreaks are usually contained quickly through the isolation of infected individuals and vaccinating people around the infected individual. The current situation, though, is very different. But before you delve into that, shine a light on whether solar panels can be recycled [in this video](. The answer might surprise you. Good morning. I’m Alice, an Editor at IE. This is The Blueprint. Let’s dive in. Last Sunday, Blueprint subscribers had an exclusive insight from leading experts from around the world, who discussed whether animals go through break-ups. And this week, premium subscribers will hear from Dr. Oren Etzioni, CEO of the Allen Institute for Artificial Intelligence on how and why he created one of the most highly respected AI research institutes in the world.

[Must Read]MUST READ [A dog caught monkeypox from one of its owners. Here's what the case indicates to us.]( [Dog caught monkeypox]( With nearly 40,000 cases globally as of August 17, 2022 – and more than 12,500 cases in the U.S. alone – monkeypox is now widespread within the human population. Doctors from Pitié-Salpêtrière Hospital reported two cohabitating male patients showing symptoms of monkeypox, including fever, headaches, and rash. Twelve days following the onset of symptoms, the patient’s male [Italian greyhound tested positive]( for the monkeypox virus. The dog also had lesions associated with the disease. The risk of any one person transmitting the virus to an animal – particularly a wild one – is small, but the more people are infected, the greater the chances. Essentially, it’s a numbers game, as this new incident with a dog in Paris proves. → Monkeypox is a poxvirus in the same family as variola – the virus that causes smallpox – and cowpox viruses, and likely evolved in animals before jumping to humans. It causes painful lesions in both humans and animals and, in rare cases, can be deadly.
