Even though the virus is not novel and has been endemic in African countries, most cases in the present outbreak have been detected in Europe and the Americas. Disease nomenclature has historically included references to places, animals, and people. There could be unintended negative consequences emanating from these references. The COVID\u201019 pandemic has exposed some of these consequences, with terms such as \u201cChina virus\u201d and fueling racism and hate crimes toward Asians, especially in America. Similarly, following the monkeypox outbreak, there have been reports of attacks on monkeys in Brazil even though monkeys are not linked to this present outbreak. The WHO Best Practices for the Naming of New Human Infectious Diseases has advised the avoidance of these references and terms that can cause negative impacts. The naming of the COVID\u201019 virus is an example of the use of the new naming practice. The WHO is already working on new names for the monkeypox disease. This name change will help clear up the confusion and prevent further attacks on monkeys both in Brazil and other parts of the world.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/puh2.25","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,11,2]],"date-time":"2022-11-02T16:12:58Z","timestamp":1667405578000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["What's in a name: The impact of monkeypox nomenclature"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"1","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8040-0212","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Lawson Ifeanyi","family":"Eya","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Noonu Atoll Hospital  Noonu Atoll Maldives"},{"name":"Global Health Focus  Abuja Nigeria"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5714-2929","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Muiz","family":"Ibrahim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"International Higher School of Medicine International University of Kyrgyzstan  Bishkek City Kyrgyzstan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Creuza Rachel","family":"Vicente","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Social Medicine Federal University of Esp\u00edrito Santo  Vit\u00f3ria Brazil"},{"name":"Postgraduate Program in Infectious Diseases (PPGDI) Federal University of Esp\u00edrito Santo  Vit\u00f3ria Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Adrian Paul J.","family":"Rabe","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Medicine Department of Primary Care and Public Health School of Public Health Imperial College London  London UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,11,2]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_8_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/ofid\/ofac310"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijsu.2022.106705"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_4_1","unstructured":"World Health Organization.
