We demonstrate a major shift in mpox transmission, with household-driven spread disproportionately affecting children, a pattern, distinct from the clade II outbreaks in men who have sex with men and early clade Ib cases in Kamituga linked to heterosexual transmission

Non-sexual community transmission of Mpox clade 1b in Uvira, eastern Democratic Republic of Congo: a descriptive study
Abstract Introduction In September 2023, mpox clade 1b emerged in Kamituga, a mining zone in South Kivu, DR Congo, primarily through sexual transmission. This study investigates an mpox clade 1b outbr...

Mpox Clade Ib incubation periods are longer than previous MPXV estimates and vary by exposure route, with shorter periods for sexual transmission. These differences suggest the need to revise post-exposure monitoring guidelines.
