    Why'd they name it monkeypox if it comes from gophers?

    So we can blame it on Africa again?

    Monkeypox is a viral disease that is found mostly in the rainforest countries of central and west Africa. The disease is called “monkeypox” because it was discovered in laboratory monkeys in 1958. Studies of animals in Africa later found it in ground squirrels, which are thought to have an important role as a natural host for the disease.

    "Investigators say 200 prairie dogs shipped from Shaw's company probably contracted monkeypox from a giant Gambian rat at a Chicago-area pet distributor. They are trying to trace anyone who bought a prairie dog at the store since mid-April. "
