There are multiple references to "human smallpox" in the machine translation. This is a translation error and does not appear in the original Spanish. Monkeypox in Spanish is "viruela de mono". Smallpox is "viruela" or "viruela humana". When the author uses the phrase "viruela de mono en humanos/as", the translation picks that up as smallpox, when the intended meaning is human monkeypox cases.
