Mpox not the new Covid-19: only one case in Europe of new variant, says WHO

Around 100 cases of clade II, variant from 2022 outbreak which was brought under control, are recorded monthly in region but Sweden sees sole clade lb case

GENEVA – The World Health Organisation (WHO) has advised against panicking following the first imported case of a new mpox variant in Europe, reported German news agency (dpa).   

Hans Kluge, WHO’s regional director for Europe, noted yesterday that the virus has been circulating in the region in an earlier variant – known as clade II – since the previous outbreak in 2022.  

According to Kluge, currently, around 100 cases of this variant are occurring monthly in Europe. 

“Mpox is not the new Covid,” Kluge said in a video call with the media in Geneva. 

“We know how to control mpox.” 

He stated that the outbreak in Europe two years ago was brought under control through high vigilance against new infections and vaccinations with the direct involvement of men who have sex with men. 

Ultimately, however, he said that the political will and resources were lacking to completely eradicate mpox in Europe. 

He added that now is the chance to be vigilant against newly imported cases of clade Ib from Africa as well as to effectively combat clade II. 

Last week, due to the current mpox outbreaks in Africa and the new, possibly more dangerous Ib variant, WHO declared mpox a public health emergency of international concern. 

According to experts, clade Ib appears to be more easily transmissible than previous variants and is also more likely to lead to severe infections. 

However, Kluge emphasised that there has been only one imported Ib case so far in Europe – in Sweden. – August 21, 2024
