An unprecedented upsurge in mpox, caused by clade I of the monkeypox virus (MPXV) was noted in Central Africa in 2024. The first mpox case with MPXV clade Ib outside Africa was reported in Sweden in mid-August. The case experienced a mild disease course after travelling to an affected country. No additional cases of this clade have been detected in Sweden. Strengthened public health measures and surveillance including whole genome sequencing are crucial to prevent establishment of novel MPXV clades.
2024 年，中非地区出现了由猴痘病毒（MPXV）I 分支引起的前所未有的猴痘疫情。首例在非洲以外报告的 MPXV 分支 Ib 猴痘病例于 8 月中旬在瑞典出现。该病例在前往受影响国家后经历了轻度疾病过程。在瑞典尚未检测到该分支的其他病例。加强公共卫生措施和监测，包括全基因组测序，对于防止新型 MPXV 分支的建立至关重要。
