Documented transboundary transmission of mpox between the Central African Republic and the Democratic Republic of the Congo

2024Open accessUniversité de Kinshasa (UNIKIN)

Abstract

ABSTRACT Four confirmed mpox cases in South Ubangi province, Democratic Republic of the Congo, were linked to documented transboundary transmission from Central African Republic. Viral genome sequencing shows that the MPXV sequences belong to subclade Ia. This demonstrates the borderless nature of mpox and highlights the need for vigilant regional surveillance.
