    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. "
