💨 Abstract

India has confirmed its first case of the fast-spreading clade Ib form of the mpox virus, making it the third country outside Africa to do so. This follows WHO's declaration of mpox as a global public health emergency in August due to an outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Other countries with confirmed clade Ib mpox cases include Sweden, Thailand, Burundi, Kenya, Rwanda, and Uganda.
