Fifth, monkeys causing risks to human health, may form international communication, and have potential interference with international transportation.

At the same time, Tan Desai added that although he announced that the monkey acne epidemic has constituted a "international concern public health incident", "as far as the current is concerned, this is a concentrated in male actor, especially with multiple personal partners The outbreak of the male outbreak ". Therefore, the epidemic can be prevented by adopting the correct strategy in the correct group.
