causes mpox, clade I and clade II. You can't tell which kind of mpox someone has by looking at them.<ul> </ul> </li> <li class="level-1">Each clade of the virus has subclades, clade Ia and clade Ib; clade IIb. Outbreaks from the subclades can have different characteristics, like who they affect, how they're spread, or even how many deaths they cause.<ul> </ul> </li> <li class="level-1">There's an outbreak of clade I mpox in Central and Eastern Africa, including the countries of Burundi, Central African Republic, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Republic of the Congo, Rwanda, and Uganda.<ul> </ul> </li> <li class="level-1">Travel-associated cases on the African continent have been reported in Kenya, Zambia, and Zimbabwe.<ul> </ul> </li> <li class="level-1">There have also been several travel-associated clade I mpox cases reported in other areas, including in Canada, Germany, India, Sweden, Thailand, and the United Kingdom.<ul> </ul> </li> <li class="level-1">The first reported case of clade I mpox in the United States was diagnosed on November 15 and is related to the outbreak in Central and Eastern Africa. The risk of clade I mpox to the public remains low.<ul> </ul> </li> <li class="level-1">Mpox spreads through close or intimate contact with a person with mpox. This could mean living in close quarters, or it may mean through sexual contact with a person with mpox.<ul> </ul> </li> <li class="level-1">It may also spread by direct contact with contaminated items and surfaces used by people with mpox.<ul> </ul> </li> <li class="level-1">In areas that regularly have mpox cases in Western and Central Africa, people can also get mpox from contact with infected wild animals.<ul> </ul> </li> <li class="level-1">The disease is not known to spread in settings where only respiratory spread is possible – for example, across rooms, in markets or classrooms, etc.<ul> </ul> </li> <li class="level-1">CDC recommends vaccination with two doses of JYNNEOS for people in the United States at risk of mpox. The vaccine is FDA approved for and expected to protect against both clades and all subclades of mpox.<ul> </ul> </li> <li class="level-1">CDC is working with public health partners in the United States and throughout Africa to monitor for mpox cases and increase surveillance capacity, in addition to other activities.<ul> </ul> </li> <li class="level-1">Clade II mpox cases continue to spread at low levels in many countries around the world.<ul> </ul> </li> </ul> <div class="dfe-section__nav hide" id="dfe-section__nav"> <div class="dfe-section__nav__header" id="dfe-section__nav__header"> </div> <div class="dfe-section__nav-links" id="dfe-section__nav-links"> </div> </div> </div> <div id="nav-buttons"> </div> </div> </div> <div class="cdc-dfe-body__center "> <div class="dfe-section" data-section="cdc_situation_summary_current"> <a class="onThisPageAnchor" id="cdc_situation_summary_current-current-situation" name="Current%20situation" title="Current situation"></a><h2 class="editor-block--title" id="heading-98pyx2yt6k">Current situation</h2> <h3 id="heading-igu31xkryl">In the United States</h3> <ul class="nested-list"> <li class="level-1"><strong>The<a href="/media/releases/s1116-california-first-clade.html"> first case of clade I mpox in the United States</a> has been </strong><strong>confirmed.</strong><ul> <li class="level-2">The patient returned from travel to an affected area and is recovering after seeking medical care. No additional cases have been reported at this time.<ul> </ul> </li> </ul> </li> <li class="level-1">Clade II mpox is <a href="/mpox/data-research/cases/index.html" class="">still circulating at low levels</a>.<ul> </ul> </li> <li class="level-1">Because many cases in areas that regularly have mpox outbreaks have been in children, many people have concerns about the risk of mpox in children in the United States.<ul> <li class="level-2">Children have historically gotten mpox in endemic areas in Western and Central Africa often because they have contact with wild animals in those areas that carry the disease then pass it to humans; those humans can then spread mpox to close household contacts. The animals are called "reservoirs." Animals in the United States do not carry the virus that causes mpox.<ul> </ul> </li> <li class="level-2">The high number of children with mpox reported in the current DRC outbreak also likely reflects spread within households. Numerous factors probably contribute to this, including crowded households, lack of access to disinfection and hygiene supplies, lack of access to medical care, and malnutrition.<ul> </ul> </li> <li class="level-2">Based on what we know right now, we don't expect to see the same sort of risk if mpox were introduced in the United States for several reasons, including different household makeup and size, access to disinfecting products, and improved access to medical care.<ul> </ul> </li> <li class="level-2"><a href="https://www.cdc.gov/forecast-outbreak-analytics/about/modeling-forecasting/mpox-transmission.html" class="ce-selection">CDC simulated clade I mpox outbreaks</a> resulting from close-contact transmission within and between households (household clusters) in the United States to better understand the potential impact of this transmission route. This modeling included children.
