摘要

The resurgence of monkey pox (mpox) virus clade Ib, which was declared a global health emergency in August 2024, poses a significant threat worldwide. Initially contained through public health measures, the increased transmissibility of clade Ib strains compared with that of previous strains has led to a rapid rise in cases, particularly in Central Africa. The resurgence highlights disparities in diagnostic capabilities and healthcare infrastructure, leading to underreporting in resource-limited regions. New variants could evade immunity, necessitating continued vaccination efforts for high-risk groups. This review discusses the epidemiological situation, recent outbreaks, clinical features, and public health response, emphasizing the urgent need for global coordination in diagnostic, prevention, and treatment strategies.
