To address the underreporting of mpox cases in endemic regions, a regional surveillance network, known as the Mpox Threat Reduction Network (MPX-TRN), was established between five neighboring countries in Central and West Africa in 2022. One direct outcome of the MPX-TRN has been the strengthening of regional mpox surveillance. This consortium has facilited open communication channels, detection of cross-border mpox cases, and improvements of the detection and diagnosis of mpox in Central Africa and worldwide. Importantly, the MPX-TRN provides a scalable model for addressing underreporting of diseases, such as mpox.
为了解决流行地区猴痘病例报告不足的问题,2022年在中非和西非的五个邻国之间建立了一个区域监测网络,即猴痘减少威胁网络(MPX-TRN)。MPX-TRN的一个直接成果是加强了区域猴痘监测。该联盟促进了开放的沟通渠道,发现了跨境猴痘病例,并改善了中非和全球范围内猴痘的检测和诊断。重要的是,MPX-TRN为解决诸如猴痘等疾病报告不足的问题提供了一个可扩展的模式。
