Characteristics and Transmission Dynamics of Global Travel-Related Mpox Cases Caused by Clade Ib Monkeypox Virus
In September 2023, an outbreak of a new strain of monkeypox virus (MPXV) emerged in the nonendemic Sud-Kivu province of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC); the outbreak was driven by sustained human-to-human transmission (1).
