The first possible case of human-to-dog transmission of monkeypox -- recently reported in a couple and their pet in Paris -- had been a theoretical risk up till now, said Dr. Rosamund Lewis, technical lead on the monkeypox response for the World Health Organization.

The couple, who live together, were diagnosed with monkeypox at a hospital in Paris in early June. Twelve days after their symptoms started, their four-year-old Italian greyhound also started showing symptoms, according to a report published last week in the journalThe dog developed lesions and tested positive for the same type of monkeypox as one of the owners.

"This is the first incident that we're learning about where there is human-to-animal transmission," Lewis said during a Washington Post Live event on Monday. "This has not been reported before, and it has not been reported that dogs have been infected before. "The messaging that has been given up until now is that pets should be isolated from the family members who may be infected," she said. "This has been an example of precautionary approach, precautionary messaging, because we didn't have the information that this had ever happened before, it had not been reported before, but it was a reasonable, cautious message to give. And now we have the first incident where this has actually occurred.

Chinese run organizarion isn't surprised people do wierd things to dogs?

LMAO. Wow. The media propaganda never stops. It’s like watching Jerry Springer 😂😂😂😂

Well, according to WHO, nothing is surprising so you know what? Stick it up your effing jumper already and lay off on the controlled scaremongering of your citizenry

So now gay men are doing dogs!!

Who screwed the pooch?

🌈 lgbtq+ 👶 🐒 🐕 You sicko's are going to need a bigger flag

We all know what happened.....

So who f**ked the dog.... It's an expression not to be taken literally ffs.

It begs the question as to what these people were doing with their dog! I don’t see this dog getting mucus lesions just from sleeping on the same bed. Perhaps deeper investigation is needed here.

For some reason this is not shocking

Now it's LGBT+D?

with these weirdos i'm not surprised either
