Mpox due to monkeypox virus clade Ia infection detected outside of Africa: a case study
This case highlights changes in the global epidemiology of monkeypox virus clade Ia and underscores the need for enhanced surveillance and coordinated international public health responses. Early detection and monitoring by whole-genome sequencing are essential for mitigating the risks posed by possible expansion beyond traditionally endemic areas.
