Mysterious spread of aphid, WHO: This may be just the beginning

The World Health Organization has warned that 200 cases of smallpox in monkeys identified in recent weeks outside the country where the virus usually circulates could be just the beginning, writes The Guardian.

"We do not know if we are just looking at the tip of the iceberg or if there are many other cases that have not yet been detected in communities," Sylvie Briand, the WHO's epidemic and pandemic prevention chief, told a news conference on Friday.

Ever since the UK first reported the first infection with the monkey pox on May 7, about 200 cases have been reported in countries far from countries where the virus is endemic.

The Spanish Ministry of Health said on Friday that 98 cases had been confirmed there so far, while the UK has currently registered 90 verified cases. Portugal has meanwhile registered 74 confirmed cases. 

"We are still at the beginning of this event," Briand told representatives attending the World Health Assembly in Geneva.

"We know we will have more cases in the coming days," she said, but stressed that there was no need to panic. "This is not a disease that the general public should be concerned about. It is not Covid or other rapidly spreading diseases. "

Monkey pox is not as severe as the disease and has a mortality rate of 3-6%. Most people recover within three to four weeks. Initial symptoms include high fever, swollen lymph nodes, and chickenpox-like rash.

Briand said experts were trying to determine what prompted the "unusual situation".

She said preliminary investigations did not show that the virus causing the monkey line had changed or mutated.
