   A rare case of monkeypox has been confirmed in a Texas resident   
   who recently traveled from Nigeria, health officials said Friday.   
      
   The person has been hospitalized and isolated in Dallas, and is   
   in stable condition, according to officials with the Dallas   
   County Health and Human Services and US Centers for Disease   
   Control and Prevention.   
      
   The traveler arrived at Dallas Love Field on July 9 from Atlanta   
   after a flight from Nigeria a day prior.   
      
   The case is the first ever confirmed instance of monkeypox in   
   the Lone Star State, according to local officials.   
      
   The CDC said it was working with the airline and state and local   
   health officials to reach anyone who may have been in contact   
   with the patient.   
      
   The risk that the traveler spread the bug to others on the   
   flights and in the airport is low, in large part due to masking   
   protocols practiced because of the COVID-19 pandemic, according   
   to the federal agency.   
      
   Monkeypox is a disease in the smallpox family, but is milder   
   than it. The rare bug can be transmitted through respiratory   
   droplets, body fluids as well as contact with an infected animal   
   or animal products. Most infections last two to four weeks.   
      
   The first case of monkeypox in a human was recorded in 1970 in   
   the Democratic Republic of Congo, and the US experienced a   
   series of infections in the 1970s.   
      
   The Texas case comes after two cases of the disease were   
   confirmed in June in the UK, where the virus was brought in May   
   by a man who worked in Nigeria.   
      
   In September 2018, the viral infection was diagnosed in three   
   people in Northern England, all of whom had also traveled to the   
   African country.
