Boala despre care aproape nu se mai vorbește continuă să se răspândească. Cercetătorii nu știu exact de ce • Newsweek România

Mpox, an infectious disease that caused a global outbreak in 2022, remains underreported despite ongoing cases. Researchers are puzzled by its persistence in the U.S., where transmission continues at low levels. In 2024, around 2,800 cases were reported, with over 2,500 in 2025, primarily from local circulation rather than new introductions. The CDC indicates that insufficient vaccination rates among high-risk individuals contribute to the ongoing transmission. As of 2026, nearly 1,000 cases have been reported, but the overall trend shows a decline. Experts emphasize the need for continued surveillance, testing, and vaccination to manage the situation effectively.
