(4 years ago)The World Health Organization says that some 200 cases of monkey smallpox have been reported in more than 20 countries of the world, which have usually had no cases of outbreaks of unusual disease.

O The BSH says the epidemic is controlled, while proposing the creation of a reserve to equally divide vaccines and scarce medicines worldwide.
During a press conference Friday, WHO said there are still many unanswered questions about the reason for the unprecedented outbreak of monkeypox outside Africa, but there is no evidence that this resulted from any genetic change in the virus.
The virus's first “Analysis shows that it does not differ from the strains of the virus found in the cosmic countries, and the explosion is likely to have occurred as a result of a change in human behavior”, Dr. Sylvia Briand, director of O BSH for pandemic and epidemic diseases.
Early this week, a senior adviser to O The BSH said that the explosion in Europe, the US, Israel, Australia and wider is likely to be related to sexual relations during two festive concerts in Spain and Belgium.
Spanish authorities said on Friday that the number of cases in the country had gone to 98, including a woman whose infection is “directly linked” with a transmission chain that was previously limited only to men, according to officials in the Madrid region. /The Voice of America
