The emergence of a new variant of mpox poses significant challenges due to its higher transmissibility and more subtle symptoms, complicating detection efforts.
WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus stated, 'This is a matter of global concern. The potential for the virus to spread beyond Africa is highly concerning.'
Concerns have been raised by U.S. lawmakers urging the federal government for a coordinated response to the potential resurgence of the mpox outbreak.
The virus's new strain leads to milder symptoms and lesions primarily on the genitals, making it harder to detect and increasing transmission risk.
