This contact tracing approach is the most appropriate given the nature and transmission of the virus. Two other U.S. cases were reported in 2021, from individuals who travelled to Nigeria. The first case of monkeypox to be reported in the U.S. this year is a man who recently travelled to Canada, Boston 25 News is reporting.

So it's not as though we don't have any tools whatsoever to contain this outbreak." "The question is, is this sexually transmitted? The answer is unknown. While the ministry said it cannot confirm any additional cases yet, it is investigating reports of about 10 people with genital lesions that may be associated with the disease. As the situation evolves we will continue to keep Canadians informed." Same thing with Zika virus," said Dr. Isaac Bogoch, an infectious diseases physician at Toronto General Hospital. STAT News reported Wednesday that the man had travelled to Quebec. Radio-Canada reported Wednesday that Montreal public health officials are investigating at least 13 cases flagged by doctors in the city, following diagnoses made in three clinics specializing in sexually transmitted and blood-borne infections. Pilarski, however, is concerned about targeting certain groups. "PHAC is aware of and closely monitoring the current situation concerning the reporting of monkeypox cases in Europe. No cases have been reported to PHAC at this time," a spokesperson said in an email. The Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) said in a statement to CBC News Wednesday that there were no cases of monkeypox reported to the agency yet. Quebec's Ministry of Health and Social Services said in a statement to CBC News late Wednesday they were notified of a person with a confirmed case of monkeypox who travelled to the province.

The U.K. announced on Monday that they have detected four more cases of monkeypox, bringing the country’s total up to seven cases. In Portugal, five cases of monkeypox have been found, with 15 more people being tested. While there is no cure for the virus, most people recover from a monkeypox infection within a few weeks. Health officials in Spain are investigating after eight men started showing symptoms of the viral infection. The case does not pose any risk to the public, officials added, but contact tracing is ongoing. The Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) said no cases of monkeypox have been reported to the agency as of Wednesday evening.

The cases point to possible sexual transmission of this cousin of smallpox — a previously unknown method of spread for monkeypox.

"And when you do have a outbreak, it's likely to be bigger because less people in the community are protected." And of course, many scientists didn't think SARS-CoV-2, the coronavirus that causes the disease COVID-19, would mutate to become more contagious, but that's exactly what has happened in the past two years. Then in the 1970s, the world was close to eradicating smallpox. "You have primary cases, in which people get monkeypox from an animal, and they may transmit the disease a few generations — but then that's it," she says. And no one spread the disease to another person. In many cases, people don't spread the virus to anyone else. Forty-seven people caught the disease from the prairie dogs. Scientists don't know yet if the rate of transmission has increased in this current outbreak. "This is a novel route of transmission that will have implications for outbreak response and control." There's a monkeypox outbreak in the United Kingdom, Portugal, Spain and other European countries. In 2019, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved the first vaccine for monkeypox, which also protects against smallpox. The version currently in England is milder.

Scientists are trying to answer questions about the outbreak of a disease not known to spread easily between humans.

There are two main strains: the Congo strain, which is more severe – with up to 10 percent mortality – and the West African strain, which has a fatality rate of 1 percent of cases. The smallpox vaccine, which also protects against monkeypox, has been phased out. The UK infections have been reported as the West African strain. “Historically, there have been very few cases exported.

Preston added: “Monkeypox is not recognized as a sexually transmitted disease — that is, something that’s hugely dependent on being spread through sexual contact. “That’s the worrying thing — the epidemiology would suggest there are other unrecognized cases at the moment. “As a whole, we shouldn’t be panicking — this is not a disease that spreads like COVID-19 within the general population,” Mabbott told Fortune. “Monkeypox isn’t very transmissible in humans. “That would suggest there are other contacts forming the connections between those cases,” he explained. “It’s still somewhat of a mystery as to how this is spreading. The West African variety – the strain currently circulating in Europe and the U.S. – has a recorded fatality rate of around 1%, while the Central African strain’s recorded fatality rate is around 10%. He added that it was concerning to see that some of the cases identified in the U.K. had no links to one another. The cases identified in the U.K. have all been the West African strain of the virus, which is thought to be milder than the Central African strain. Two cases of the virus were identified in London a week after the first case was reported — but authorities said the individuals had no connection to the previously confirmed case, and “where and how they acquired their infection remains under investigation.” It’s a virus that is mainly spread by wild animals in parts of west and central Africa, according to the WHO — but human-to-human transmission can also occur, and it is occasionally exported to other parts of the world when an infected person travels. Canada is investigating 13 suspected cases of the disease, with the U.S. patient reported to have recently traveled to the country. The first case associated with the current outbreak was reported in the U.K. on May 7 in a person who had recently traveled to Nigeria, where they are believed to have contracted the disease.

In Canada, infants only got routine smallpox vaccination since 1972. Montreal Public Health said they're asking health workers to be alert for monkeypox cases but said the illness is also not extremely contagious and is the milder of two strains. Montreal doesn't yet have lab confirmation that the 17 cases are, in fact, monkeypox, but after learning of other outbreaks in Europe and a case in the U.S. with travel linked to Montreal, public health "changed the course" of their investigation, Drouin said.

Monkeypox is typically limited to Africa, and rare cases in the United States and elsewhere are usually linked to travel there.

A small number of confirmed or suspected cases have been reported this month in the United Kingdom, Portugal and Spain. Monkeypox comes from the same family of viruses as smallpox.

The announcement raises the possibility that the first monkeypox infection found in the United States is connected to the Canadian cases.

The cases diagnosed in Europe have been caused by the West African clade of the virus, which is typically less dangerous than the Congo Basin clade. In Africa, monkeypox has been fatal in about 1 in 10 cases, with severe disease and death more likely among children, young adults, and people with compromised immune systems, though the ECDC said in its report that the case fatality rate for the West African clade has been 3.6%. One possible explanation for why so many cases in the current outbreak have been identified at STI clinics is that people have turned up with “a preponderance of lesions in the genital area,” the ECDC wrote. Health authorities have stressed cases are likely not limited to this population, both to try to avoid stigmatization, and to ensure that clinicians remain on the lookout for infections in other groups of people. The health officials in Montreal said the suspected cases there have included painful lesions in the mouth and on the penis. It’s also not clear, for example, if the U.S. case is related to the cases in Europe. Genomic sequencing can help answer that question.

There is no cure for the virus, but most people recover from a monkeypox infection within a few weeks. Presumably they resulted from travel, but many of these cases have no travel history,” she said. “It’s also fair to say that we don’t know too much about this. Urgent investigations of the new cases are important as “they could suggest a novel means of spread or a change in the virus, but this is all to be determined,” she said. No confirmed cases of monkeypox have been reported to PHAC as of Thursday morning, the agency told Global News. However, 17 suspected cases of the virus are under investigation in Montreal. However, with the monkeypox cases we’re seeing now, there doesn’t appear to be a connection with rodents, with multiple cases being reported in Europe and North America, Rasmussen said. Recent cases of the monkeypox have researchers in Canada and elsewhere in the world trying to figure out just how widespread the virus is.
