Who On Monkeypox

Kerala on Wednesday confirmed India's second Mpox, or monkeypox case, nine days after Delhi reported the country's first - a young man who had travelled from western Africa.

India on Monday reported its first confirmed case of "travel-related" Mpox, or monkeypox, in a young male who tested positive for a strain from western Africa.

The World Health Organization said on Friday its partners like Gavi and Unicef can start buying mpox vaccines before they are approved in a bid to get inoculations to Africa faster as the continent battles an escalating outbreak of the virus.

The Centre has informed the authorities in airports, ports and borders with Bangladesh and Pakistan to remain alert about incoming international passengers who show monkeypox (mpox) symptoms, sources said. Mpox has been spreading around the world.

The WHO, on August 14, declared the current upsurge of Mpox or Monkeypox in Central Africa as a global emergency requiring urgent action. Though India has not reported any cases yet, the Central government is keeping a close eye on the situation.

The World Health Organization declared that mpox no longer constitutes a global health emergency on Thursday, almost exactly a year after the disease formerly known as monkeypox started spreading globally.

The World Health Organization said Tuesday it saw "encouraging" signs the monkeypox epidemic was slowing in Europe and heading "in the right direction", calling on countries to double down on efforts.

Indonesia has recorded its first case of monkeypox in a 27-year-old man who returned from travelling overseas, the country's health ministry said on Saturday.

Studies are under way to see whether genetic changes in the monkeypox virus are driving the rapid spread of the disease, the World Health Organization told AFP on Wednesday.

Vaccines against monkeypox are not 100 per cent effective and that is why, people must reduce their own risks of infection, WHO technical lead Rosamund Lewis said on Wednesday.

The World Health Organization, which is looking to rename monkeypox, called Tuesday for help from the public in coming up with a less stigmatising designation for the fast-spreading disease.

The World Health Organisation (WHO) recently declared monkeypox a global public health emergency of international concern.

A Kerala man, recently back from the UAE, who died on Saturday had tested positive for monkeypox, said the state Health Minister.
