L'épidémie de variole en Afrique est préoccupante - voici pourquoi.
- Senior Lecturer in Biomedical Science, University of Hull
The mpox outbreak in Africa is cause for concern – here’s why.
La variole simienne se propage maintenant facilement d'une personne à l'autre. Elle subit des mutations plus rapides et les souches sont devenues plus virulentes
Mpox is now readily spreading from person to person. It is mutating faster and the strains are more virulent.
Lassa virus kills about 1% of those who catch it, but if caught early enough, antiviral drugs can prevent serious illness.
Although cases have fallen significantly since the global mpox outbreak in 2022, the virus still continues to mutate.
Scientists are urgently trying to find the cause of the global outbreak of severe liver disease in young children. So far, adenovirus seems to be the best lead.
