In May 2022, monkeypox virus (MPXV) outbreak was confirmed amid the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic in many parts of the world including Africa. This is the largest outbreak since monkeypox (MPX) was first detected in humans in 1970. The MPX outbreak in Africa is an added burden to the fragile healthcare systems that are already overburdened with several reoccurring epidemics. Although several efforts are in place to effectively contained the outbreak. Several measures such as improved surveillance and diagnostic are necessary to contain the spread of the disease in Africa. This commentary highlights the challenges with the MPX outbreak in Africa and discusses the measures that can be taken to limit the spread of the disease, particularly in high-risk countries.
2022年5月，在包括非洲在内的世界许多地区，猴痘病毒（MPXV）疫情在2019冠状病毒病（COVID-19）大流行期间得到确认。这是自1970年猴痘（MPX）首次在人类中被发现以来最大规模的疫情爆发。非洲的猴痘疫情给本就因多次反复出现的流行病而不堪重负的脆弱医疗系统增加了负担。尽管已经采取了多项措施来有效控制疫情，但仍需要采取一些措施，如加强监测和诊断，以控制该疾病在非洲的传播。本评论强调了非洲猴痘疫情面临的挑战，并讨论了可以采取哪些措施来限制该疾病的传播，特别是在高风险国家。
