【录音原文】
The first cases of a virus related to smallpox have been reported in the Americas. At least 23 cases of monkeypox had been detected in three Midwestern states—Illinois, Indiana and Wisconsin. Although similar in many ways to smallpox, monkeypox is less infectious and less deadly than its more famous relative. The disease occurs primarily in Central and West Africa. Although state and federal officials are still investigating the cause of the Midwest monkeypox cases, they do know that all the patients had direct or close contact with infected prairie dogs kept as pets.
