Emergence of mpox in Oman: investigating the first cluster and its implications, October 2023

Travel-related exposure appeared to be a significant factor in the outbreak of clade IIb in Oman. This investigation serves as a practical exercise for public health preparedness, emphasizing the importance of an adaptive health system. Ensuring robust detection and response measures while accounting for patient privacy, cultural contexts, and available resources, such as institutional quarantine for contacts, is crucial for effectively managing emerging infectious diseases.

Abstract

Travel-related exposure appeared to be a significant factor in the outbreak of clade IIb in Oman. This investigation serves as a practical exercise for public health preparedness, emphasizing the importance of an adaptive health system. Ensuring robust detection and response measures while accounting for patient privacy, cultural contexts, and available resources, such as institutional quarantine for contacts, is crucial for effectively managing emerging infectious diseases.
