Monkey Fever prevention involves which approach?

Monkey Fever prevention involves which approach?

• A. Public education: avoid tick bites, use PPE, get vaccinated
• B. Quarantine of non-human primates
• C. Use of antiviral therapy for exposed persons
• D. No preventive measures exist

Answer: (A)

Prevention hinges on stopping exposure before infection. The strongest approach is public education that explains how transmission occurs and what actions reduce risk, such as avoiding high‑risk contacts and environments, and clearly using personal protective equipment when exposure could happen. Vaccination for those at risk provides immune protection and helps prevent outbreaks, especially for healthcare workers or others with occupational exposure. Quarantining non‑human primates isn’t a practical or reliable way to prevent human cases, and antiviral therapy is aimed at treatment after exposure rather than preventing disease in the wider population. No preventive measures would be incorrect because established strategies do exist.
