Abstract

Mpox, a zoonotic disease resulting from infection with monkeypox virus (MPXV), was previously considered endemic to Central and West Africa. However, an ongoing global outbreak of clade IIb (previously known as West African clade) MPXV, associated with human-to-human transmission primarily through sexual contact, has occurred since May 2022, with introduction of MPXV to regions and countries that had previously only reported sporadic imported cases [ 1, 2].
