Important to understand the #mpox outbreak is complex

In Africa
-clade Ia and Ib in DRC (most cases are clade Ia and affecting children with clade Ib in South and North Kivu)
- clade Ib in Burundi, Uganda, Kenya, Rwanda
- clade I in CAR (likely Ia)
- clade I and II in Cameroon
- clade IIb in South Africa, Ivory Coast, Nigeria, Liberia, Ghana and others

Outside Africa
- 1 case of clade 1b in Sweden
- 1 case of clade I in Thailand
- all other countries clade IIb (cause of 2022 global outbreak)
