As far as we know, only one study published to date has applied a cost-of-illness design using a national sample to CVD in Europe [ 14].
This outbreak of monkeypox virus infection in humans and nonhuman animals is an important reminder to monitor surveillance programs for febrile rash illnesses designed to detect potential bioterrorism attacks with smallpox virus, which may be beneficial for detecting emerging infections (26 ).
