Mashup Score: 14The first 100 days of the mpox response in Africa - 17 day(s) ago
Africa’s low COVID-19 mortality rates concealed important vulnerabilities, including poor health infrastructure and manufacturing constraints,1 highlighting the need for a proactive, continent-wide pandemic response. The emphasis on local solutions to global health challenges was a crucial reason for the Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to declare mpox a Public Health Emergency of Continental Security.2 A coordinated and cost-effective continental response platform was created to achieve the 6-month pandemic control goal,3 adopting the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations’ 100 Days Mission monitoring framework.

Mashup Score: 2Transmission pathways and personal protective equipment requirement for mpox clade Ib lineage: nothing new on this front - 27 day(s) ago
In 2023, the French Society of Hospital Hygiene published a position paper outlining infection control measures for suspected or confirmed cases of mpox in healthcare settings [1]. A comprehensive literature review on mpox clade IIb transmission recommended contact precautions and the use of surgical masks. Airborne transmission has not been confirmed; therefore, the use of respirators such as KN95 or FFP2 was deemed an unnecessary burden, resulting in added costs and discomfort for healthcare workers (HCWs) [1].
