Gaps in proper information dissemination can cause confusion and knowledge divergence among the general public, leading to difficulties in disease management. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the overall knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) regarding Mpox among the general population of Bangladesh to help implement optimal public health interventions.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A cross\u2010sectional study was conducted using an online questionnaire survey to evaluate the KAP related to Mpox among the general population of Bangladesh. A total of 1025 KAP domains were registered during the survey, among which 938 were eligible for final analysis. Comparisons between different groups were performed using the Wilcoxon signed\u2010rank and the Kruskal\u2013Wallis test. Additionally, a multivariable logistic regression analysis was conducted to identify factors associated with williness to practice preventive behaviours against Mpox.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Only 7.25% (68\/938) of participants demonstrated good knowledge, 20.58% (193\/938) had positive attitudes, and 25.05% (235\/938) were willing to practice preventive measures toward Mpox prevention, indicating overall inadequate KAP levels. The Kruskal\u2013Wallis test revealed statistically significant differences in knowledge scores based on education level (\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      value\u2009=\u20090.004), age group (\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      value\u2009=\u20090.008), and division (\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      value\u2009=\u20090.009).
