The article discusses the emergence of Monkeypox as a new global pandemic threat, following the COVID-19 outbreak. Despite not being as harmful or contagious as COVID-19, Monkeypox continues to be reported daily in various countries. The challenge of early diagnosis is highlighted due to its resemblance to chickenpox and measles. The authors propose a deep learning model based on transfer learning to assist in the detection of Monkeypox lesions, using the InceptionV3 model trained on a publicly available dataset. The model achieved an accuracy of 98% during testing. The study emphasizes the importance of timely detection, contact tracing, and isolation measures to control the spread of the virus. The article also provides an overview of the Monkeypox virus, its transmission, and the current status of the outbreak, noting that while it is not considered a significant global public health emergency, it remains a concern due to its potential for widespread transmission.The article discusses the emergence of Monkeypox as a new global pandemic threat, following the COVID-19 outbreak.
