On 14 Aug 2024, the World Health Organization (WHO) decalred the latest mpox outbreak in Africa a public health emergency of international concern. While the virus is not new, its behavior warrants vigilance and raises critical questions about its infectivity, transmissibility, and the optimal preventive measures to halt the spread of the pathogen even further.

The epicenter of the outbreak is in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) and other African countries, and cases have been reported in other countries outside Africa. This has raised international concern and countries are on high alert.
