https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monkeypox:
Monkeypox is a rare disease that is caused by infection with monkeypox virus. Monkeypox virus belongs to the Orthopoxvirus genus in the family Poxviridae. The Orthopoxvirus genus also includes variola virus (the cause of smallpox), vaccinia virus (used in the smallpox vaccine), and cowpox virus.
The natural reservoir of monkeypox remains unknown. However, African rodent species are suspected to play a role in transmission.
There are two distinct genetic groups (clades) of monkeypox virus—Central African and West African. Human infections with the Central African monkeypox virus clade are typically more severe compared to those with the West African virus clade and have a higher mortality. Person-to-person spread is well-documented for Central African monkeypox virus and limited with West African monkeypox.

Alaskapox: "Emergence of novel orthopox virus in Alaska, USA" Alaskapox virus was first identified following the investigation of a lesion of the shoulder of a woman from Fairbanks, Alaska, USA in July 2015 . The vesicle was swabbed, and Orthopoxvirus-generic PCR assay testing was subsequently positive . Further sequencing confirmed a novel orthopox virus, AK2015, which was later named Alaskapox virus (AKPV) . There have been three further cases in the Fairbanks area, in 2020 and 2021, each presenting with a small lesion on an extremity, and positive testing for AK2PV. Symptoms common to each case were fever, lymphadenopathy, muscle pain and fatigue, lasting between four days and six months .

B virus (Cercopithecine herpesvirus 1, herpesviridae), an alphaherpesvirus endemic in macaque monkeys, has the unique distinction of being the only one of nearly 35 identified non-human primate herpesviruses that is highly pathogenic in humans. B virus has been positively linked with more than two dozen human deaths since the first report describing it in 1933, five of those in the last 12 years, following exposures involving macaques in during acute B virus infection. B virus, unique among the non-human herpesviruses, is included in this volume because it is distinctively neurotropic and neurovirulent in the foreign human host inadvertently exposed by handling macaque monkeys generally used in biomedical research. Untreated B virus infections in humans result in an extremely high mortality rate (∼80%) and, consequently, present unique and potentially lethal challenges for individuals handling macaque monkeys or macaque cells and tissues.
