Between January and August 2024, mpox cases have been reported in nearly all provinces of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). Monkeypox virus genome sequences were obtained from 11 mpox cases' samples, collected in July-August 2024 in several health zones of Kinshasa. Characterisation of the sequences showed subclades Ia and Ib co-circulating in the Limete health zone, while phylogenetic analyses suggested multiple introductions of the two subclades in Kinshasa. This illustrates the growing complexity of Clade I mpox outbreaks in DRC.
2024 年 1 月至 8 月期间,刚果民主共和国(刚果(金))几乎所有省份都报告了猴痘病例。从 2024 年 7 月至 8 月期间在金沙萨几个卫生区采集的 11 例猴痘病例样本中获得了猴痘病毒基因组序列。序列特征表明,利迈特卫生区同时存在亚谱系 Ia 和 Ib,而系统进化分析表明,这两个亚谱系在金沙萨存在多次传入。这表明刚果(金)I 型猴痘暴发的复杂性日益增加。
