Multi-country Mpox Outbreak Analysis
Epidemiological Update
- Total Cases: 90,439 laboratory-confirmed mpox cases globally, including 157 deaths (as of 11 Sep 2023).
- Recent Increase: From 14 August to 11 September 2023, 1,131 new cases and five new deaths were reported.
- Transmission: Primarily human-to-human via sexual contact and other non-sexual routes; sustained community transmission in South-East Asia and Western Pacific regions.
- Affected Countries: Cases reported from 115 countries; 22 countries had active transmission within the last 21 days.
- High-Risk Locations: Top contributors include the US (30,610 cases), Brazil (10,967 cases), and Spain (7,580 cases), accounting for 82% of global cases.
- Demographics: 96.3% of cases are male, mostly adults (median age 34 years); cases in younger individuals are increasing in the Americas.
Global Risk Assessment
- General Population: Low risk in countries unexposed to mpox historically; moderate risk in historically affected countries and their neighbors.
- Specific Groups: Moderate risk for men who have sex with men and sex workers globally, due to higher exposure and associated factors like HIV.
Special Focus Areas
- Standing Recommendations: WHO issued long-term guidelines focusing on integration with health systems, surveillance, stigma reduction, research, and equitable access to vaccines/treatments.
- Animal Surveillance: WHO is collaborating with Nigeria to study mpox transmission at the human-animal-environment interface to better control outbreaks.
Summary Observations
- Outbreak transmission remains low in most regions, but cases are rising in some areas, particularly in Europe and the Americas.
- The virus continues to spread through sexual networks, affecting marginalized communities disproportionately.
- Mpox-related stigma remains a challenge, and long-term control depends on sustained public health measures and research.
