New Virus Variant Spreads to Europe!

The WHO officially verified Sweden's report of a case of infection with a novel monkeypox virus variety, Ib, which was initially found in Africa, on August 15, local time. This is the first time that the virus has moved outside of Africa. According to experts, the finding of this case probably means that there are hundreds of unreported cases throughout Europe.

The patient is currently receiving treatment after contracting this novel strain of monkeypox virus during the ongoing outbreak in Africa, according to Swedish health experts at a news briefing that same day.


Monkeypox Infection and Symptoms

Humans can become infected through contact with respiratory secretions, lesion exudates, blood, or other bodily fluids from infected animals, or through bites or scratches from infected animals. Human-to-human transmission primarily occurs through close contact, but it can also be spread through respiratory droplets during prolonged close contact. Additionally, the virus can be transmitted from a pregnant woman to her fetus via the placenta. 

The incubation period for monkeypox is typically 6 to 13 days, with a maximum of up to 21 days. Infected individuals may experience symptoms such as fever, headache, and lymphadenopathy. This is followed by the appearance of a rash on the face and other parts of the body, which gradually develops into pustules that persist for about a week. The pustules eventually form scabs, and once all the scabs have fallen off, the infected person is no longer contagious.
