This zoonotic disease has been gradually re-emerging in humans with an increasing frequency of cases found in endemic areas, as well as an escalating frequency and size of epidemics outside of endemic areas in Africa. Currently, the largest known mpox epidemic is spreading throughout the world, with over 85,650 cases to date, mostly in Europe and North America. These increased endemic cases and epidemics are likely driven primarily by decreasing global immunity to OPXVs, along with other possible causes. The current unprecedented global outbreak of mpox has demonstrated higher numbers of human cases and greater human-to-human transmission than previously documented, necessitating an urgent need to better understand this disease in humans and animals. Monkeypox virus (MPXV) infections in animals, both naturally occurring and experimental, have provided critical information about the routes of transmission; the viral pathogenicity factors; the methods of control, such as vaccination and antivirals; the disease ecology in reservoir host species; and the conservation impacts on wildlife species. This review briefly described the epidemiology and transmission of MPXV between animals and humans and summarizes past studies on the ecology of MPXV in wild animals and experimental studies in captive animal models, with a focus on how animal infections have informed knowledge concerning various aspects of this pathogen. Knowledge gaps were highlighted in areas where future research, both in captive and free-ranging animals, could inform efforts to understand and control this disease in both humans and animals.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/v15040905","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,3,31]],"date-time":"2023-03-31T10:19:33Z","timestamp":1680257973000},"page":"905","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":69,"title":["Monkeypox Virus in Animals: Current Knowledge of Viral Transmission and Pathogenesis in Wild Animal Reservoirs and Captive Animal Models"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2895-8918","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Elizabeth A.","family":"Falendysz","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"U.S. Geological Survey, National Wildlife Health Center, Madison, WI 53711, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Juan G.","family":"Lopera","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"EDAN Diagnostics Inc., Madison, WI 53719, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3933-1563","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Tonie E.","family":"Rocke","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"U.S. Geological Survey, National Wildlife Health Center, Madison, WI 53711, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7474-6150","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jorge E.","family":"Osorio","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pathobiological Sciences, School of Veterinary Medicine, University of Wisconsin, Madison, WI 53706, USA"},{"name":"Global Health Institute, University of Wisconsin, Madison, WI 53706, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,3,31]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1933","DOI":"10.3390\/v2091933","article-title":"Orthopoxvirus genome evolution: The role of gene loss","volume":"2","author":"Hendrickson","year":"2010","journal-title":"Viruses"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"105","DOI":"10.1099\/vir.0.19565-0","article-title":"Poxvirus genomes: A phylogenetic analysis","volume":"85","author":"Gubser","year":"2004","journal-title":"J.
