Description
Izere Salomon and co-authors review the monkeypox outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo in this 2024 Europe PMC paper. Monkeypox is a zoonotic disease caused by a virus in the same genus as smallpox, found mainly in west and central Africa. Recent outbreaks there have grown into a major public health concern.
Drawing on journals, public health reports and case studies, the review counts about twelve thousand suspected cases and five hundred eighty-one deaths in the recent outbreak, spread across most provinces. It covers symptoms and outcomes, how the virus spreads, and the security and prevention steps used to respond, noting that cases have reached areas not hit before.
