The largest number of infected people, 198, registered in Spain, 191 cases were recorded in Portugal, while 113 cases of monkey leave infection were recorded in Germany during this period.
The suspect numbers of the infected were recorded in France (66), the Netherlands (54), Italy (29), and Belgium (17).
Six cases of infection have been reported in Slovenia and from one in Austria and Hungary. No deaths have been reported so far, the ECDC said in a statement.
The clinical framework is generally described as easy, in most cases of lesions in the genitals or the perigenial area, suggesting that transmission has taken place perhaps through close physical contact during sexual activity.
According to global data, 473 cases of monkey leaving infection were confirmed outside the EU and EEA by June 8th.
Cases have been reported in the United Kingdom (321), Canada (81), the United States (35), the United Arab Emirates (13), Switzerland (10), Australia (6), Israel (3), Argentina (2), and one in Mexico and Morocco.
