Background edit

These paragraphs are an excerpt from Mpox and 2022–2023 mpox outbreak.

Mpox (formerly known as monkeypox)[4] is an infectious viral disease that can occur in humans and a wide range of other animals.[5] Symptoms include a rash that forms blisters and then crusts over, fever, and swollen lymph nodes.[5] The illness is usually mild and most of those infected will recover within a few weeks without treatment.[6] The time from exposure to onset of symptoms ranges from five to twenty-one days and symptoms typically last from two to four weeks.[7] Cases may be severe, especially in children, pregnant women or people with suppressed immune systems.[8]

The disease is caused by the monkeypox virus,[a] a zoonotic virus in the genus Orthopoxvirus. The variola virus, the causative agent of the disease smallpox, is also in this genus.[5] Human-to-human transmission can occur through direct contact with infected skin or body fluids, including sexual contact.[5] People remain infectious from the onset of symptoms until all the lesions have scabbed and healed.[8] It may spread from infected animals by handling infected meat or via bites or scratches.[8] Diagnosis can be confirmed by PCR testing a lesion for the virus' DNA.[5]

An ongoing outbreak of mpox was confirmed on May 6, 2022, beginning with a British resident who, after travelling to Nigeria (where the disease is endemic), presented symptoms consistent with mpox on 29 April 2022. The resident returned to the United Kingdom on May 4, creating the country's index case of the outbreak.[9] The origin of several of the cases of mpox in the United Kingdom is unknown. Some monitors saw community transmission taking place in the London area as of mid-May,[10] but it has been suggested that cases were already spreading in Europe in the previous months.[11]

Transmission edit

A large portion of those infected were believed to have not recently traveled to areas of Africa where mpox is normally found, such as Nigeria, the Democratic Republic of the Congo as well as central and western Africa. It is believed to be transmitted by close contact with sick people, with extra caution for those individuals with lesions on their skin or genitals, along with their bedding and clothing. The CDC has also stated that individuals should avoid contact and consumption of dead animals such as rats, squirrels, monkeys and apes along with wild game or lotions derived from animals in Africa.[12]

In addition to more common symptoms, such as fever, headache, swollen lymph nodes, and rashes or lesions, some patients have also experienced proctitis, an inflammation of the rectum lining. CDC has also warned clinicians to not rule out mpox in patients with sexually transmitted infections since there have been reports of co-infections with syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, and herpes.[13]

Timeline edit

Arrival edit

Main article: 2022–2023 mpox outbreak in the United States

An index case was imported into the United States on 18 May 2022, by a man who had recently travelled to Canada.[1] He was admitted to a hospital in Massachusetts, likely on 17 May. The day after, the man was confirmed to have contracted mpox. The following day, another mpox case was confirmed,[14] and the United States reported these cases to the World Health Organization (WHO)[15] and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).[16]

Responses edit

World Health Organization (WHO) edit

On 20 May, the WHO convened an emergency meeting of independent advisers to discuss the outbreak and assess the threat level.[37] Its European chief, Hans Kluge, expressed concern that infections could accelerate in Europe as people gather for parties and festivals over the summer.[38] On 14 June, the WHO announced plans to rename the disease from monkeypox to mpox in order to combat stigma and racism surrounding the disease.[39] Another meeting convened on 23 June determined that the outbreak does not constitute a Public Health Emergency of International Concern for the time being.[40]

Countries edit

The majority of North American countries responded to the outbreak, and the responses of some are listed below.

  • Canada: On 21 April, Public Services and Procurement Canada published a tender request seeking to stockpile doses of smallpox vaccine to be prepared in the event of a future accidental or intentional release of the virus.[41] The contract for 500,000 doses closed on 5 May, and was awarded to Bavarian Nordic.[42] On 24 May, the Public Health Agency of Canada stated that they were in the process of extracting Imvamune vaccines from their National Emergency Strategic Stockpile for deployment across the country, starting with the province of Quebec.[43] On 26 May, Quebec announced that Imvamune vaccines would be made available to those who have been in close contact with confirmed or suspected mpox cases.[44] On 7 June, PHAC announced that travellers returning to Canada may be subject to a mandatory quarantine period if they become ill with mpox, and warned that quarantined travellers may have restricted access to health care and delays returning home.[45]
  • Dominican Republic: In May, the Ministry of Public Health of the Dominican Republic issued a preventive epidemiological alert after mpox was reported in several countries.[46][47]
  • Guatemala: On 26 May, the Minister of Health of Guatemala, Francisco Coma, informed that the Ministry declared an epidemiological alert on the borders of the Central American country, with the objective of detecting possible cases of mpox.[48] The minister also mentioned that one of the main transmissions of mpox is from injuries and body fluids as well as contact with contaminated clothing.[49]
  • Mexico: In May, Mexican health authorities have posted notices in clinics and hospitals for the purpose of identifying suspected cases in the country. In addition, the Ministry of Health has issued an epidemiological alert on 26 May 2022.[50]
  • United States: On 22 May, President Joe Biden commented "they haven't told me the level of exposure yet but it is something that everybody should be concerned about". National security advisor Jake Sullivan told reporters the US has a vaccine that is relevant to treating mpox.[51] On 25 May, the CDC issued an alert for gay and bisexual men to be especially vigilant.[52][53] In addition, the CDC placed its mpox travel alert at "Level 2", following reports of cases in Australia and several countries in Europe.[54] Beginning 18 July 2022, Sonic Healthcare USA started testing for mpox using CDC's orthopoxvirus test, which includes monkeypox virus at Sonic Reference Laboratory in Austin, Texas.[55]

We were unable to record Overseas and Dependant territories' response to the outbreak.
