Highlights The outbreak of clade Ib monkeypox virus (MPXV) continues predominantly in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Burundi and Uganda, with new travel-related cases identified in previously unaffected countries. The Democratic Republic of the Congo remains the most affected country, experiencing circulation of both clade I MPXV subclades. Despite many of the provinces reporting stable trends in cases, the situation in the country remains concerning, with continued sustained circulation of virus strains. The escalating violence in the eastern part of the country poses additional challenges for the mpox response. Burundi and Uganda continue to report the most cases outside of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. New travel-related cases of mpox due to clade Ib MPXV have been detected in countries that had already detected travel-related cases before, including China, Germany, Thailand, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and the United States of America. Azerbaijan has reported its first case of mpox.
