Monkeypox. I had to look it up, apparently they changed the name of the disease (presumably because of racists) but the virus itself is still called monkeypox.
Edit: wait lol all your links say that, and one of your links is the same wiki page. But yeah, that’s exactly what I said: the disease is now called mpox, but the virus is still referred to as the monkeypox virus.
You’re not wrong, but tbf like I said, it is referred to as that for historical purposes. We are moving away from the older name but it takes time. For example, AIDS was called GRID at one point. Not now. Nobody does that.

Not really, the name is now Mpox but for historical purposes the previous name is still referenced.
Tbf it’s wikipedia, but the first line of the 2nd paragraph says:
