Deadlier Strain of Mpox Detected in Thailand

HeadlineAug 23, 2024

In more public health news, Thai officials say they’ve confirmed the presence of the new, deadlier strain of mpox in a European patient who recently traveled to Thailand. Thai authorities are now requiring travelers from 42 different countries to undergo testing on arrival. Sweden also confirmed it identified a case of the more contagious and deadlier variant, known as clade 1. Meanwhile, Congolese authorities recently reported over 1,000 new mpox cases in a week as they appeal to the international community for the urgent delivery of vaccines. The World Health Organization earlier this month declared mpox a global public health emergency.
