<p>The <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/cdc">Centers for Disease Control and Prevention</a> (CDC) has updated its guidance related to animals and the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/heres-everything-you-need-to-know-about-the-monkeypox-outbreak">monkeypox</a> virus after a gay couple in France is suspected of transmitting the virus to their dog.</p>
<p>According to a paper <a href="https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(22)01487-8/fulltext">published</a> in The Lancet, two male partners, who were sleeping with other partners too, passed monkeypox to their Italian greyhound 12 days after they started showing symptoms.</p>
<p>The males, one aged 44 and the other 27, started seeing symptoms of the virus in a matter of days after sleeping with other partners.</p>
<p>&#8220;The men had presented with anal ulceration 6 days after sex with other partners,&#8221; the paper said. &#8220;In patient 1, anal ulceration was followed by a vesiculopustular rash on the face, ears, and legs; in patient 2, on the legs and back. In both cases, rash was associated with asthenia, headaches, and fever 4 days later.&#8221;</p>
<p>Nearly two weeks after the couple had symptoms, their dog tested positive for the virus, too.</p>
<p>&#8220;Twelve days after symptom onset, their male Italian greyhound, aged 4 years and with no previous medical disorders, presented with mucocutaneous lesions, including abdomen pustules and a thin anal ulceration,&#8221; The Lancet outlined. &#8220;The dog tested positive for monkeypox virus by use of a PCR protocol adapted from Li and colleagues that involved scraping skin lesions and swabbing the anus and oral cavity.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;The men reported co-sleeping with their dog. They had been careful to prevent their dog from contact with other pets or humans from the onset of their own symptoms,&#8221; the paper added.</p>
<p>The paper&#8217;s authors concluded, &#8220;To the best of our knowledge, the kinetics of symptom onset in both patients and, subsequently, in their dog suggest human-to-dog transmission of monkeypox virus.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Given the dog&#8217;s skin and mucosal lesions as well as the positive monkeypox virus PCR results from anal and oral swabs, we hypothesise a real canine disease, not a simple carriage of the virus by close contact with humans or airborne transmission (or both),&#8221; the authors continued. &#8220;Our findings should prompt debate on the need to isolate pets from monkeypox virus-positive individuals. We call for further investigation on secondary transmissions via pets.&#8221;</p>
<p>The monkeypox virus has hit the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/lgbtq">LGBTQ</a> community hardest across continents, spreading via close contact, including rashes and bodily fluids, according to the CDC.</p>
<p>Since The Lancet paper, the CDC has updated its guidance to include dogs as animals that can catch the virus, CBS News <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/monkeypox-suspected-case-human-to-dog-transmission-cdc-guidance/">reported</a>.</p>
<p><strong>&#8220;</strong>People with monkeypox should avoid contact with animals, including pets, <a href="https://www.cdc.gov/poxvirus/monkeypox/veterinarian/monkeypox-in-animals.html#table">domestic animals, and wildlife</a> to prevent spreading the virus,&#8221; the CDC <a href="https://www.cdc.gov/poxvirus/monkeypox/specific-settings/pets-in-homes.html">says</a>.</p>
<p>&#8220;If your pet is exposed to monkey pox: Do not surrender, euthanize, or abandon pets just because of a potential exposure or Monkeypox virus,&#8221; the agency said, adding, &#8220;Do not wipe or bathe your pet with chemical disinfectants, alcohol, hydrogen peroxide, or other products, such as hand sanitizer, counter-cleaning wipes, or other industrial or surface cleaners.&#8221;</p>
