MONTREAL: Health authorities in North America and Europe have detected dozens of suspected or confirmed cases of monkeypox since early May, sparking concern the disease endemic in parts of Africa is spreading.
Canada was the latest country to report it was investigating more than a dozen suspected cases of monkeypox, after Spain and Portugal detected more than 40 possible and verified cases.
Britain has confirmed nine cases since May 6, and the United States verified its first on Wednesday (May 18), saying a man in the eastern state of Massachusetts had tested positive for the virus after visiting Canada.
Monkeypox, which mostly occurs in west and central Africa, is a viral infection similar to human smallpox, though milder. It was first recorded in the Democratic Republic of Congo in the 1970s.
The illness, from which most people recover within several weeks and has only been fatal in rare cases, has infected thousands of people in parts of Central and Western Africa in recent years but is rare in Europe and North Africa.
The illness often starts with flu-like symptoms such as fever, muscle ache and swollen lymph nodes before causing a chickenpox-like rash on the face and body.
