Several neglected infectious pathogens, such as the monkeypox virus (MPXV), have re-emerged in the last few decades, becoming a global health burden. Despite the incipient vaccine against MPXV infection, the global incidence of travel-related outbreaks continues to rise. About 472 confirmed cases have been reported in 27 countries as of 31 May 2022, the largest recorded number of cases outside Africa since the disease was discovered in the early 1970s.
几十年来,一些被忽视的传染病病原体,如猴痘病毒(MPXV),再次出现,成为全球健康负担。尽管针对 MPXV 感染的疫苗刚刚问世,但与旅行相关的暴发的全球发病率仍在持续上升。截至 2022 年 5 月 31 日,27 个国家报告了约 472 例确诊病例,这是自 20 世纪 70 年代初发现该疾病以来,非洲以外报告病例最多的一次。
