The outbreak has subsided in countries including the United Kingdom and the United States, thanks to the deployment of vaccines and therapeutics, as well as changes in awareness and social behaviour. But the same is not true in some nations in West and Central Africa, which have been battling the monkeypox virus for decades, and where the disease’s toll has historically been highest. Even while global mpox infections have plummeted from more than 1,000 new infections a day at their peak to fewer than 70, numbers have not fallen substantially in African countries. The Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), for instance, has reported more than 1,000 suspected cases since October. But even those numbers are a “gross underestimation” of reality, says Dimie Ogoina, an infectious-disease physician at Niger Delta University in Amassoma, Nigeria. Many infections are never confirmed because of an underfunded testing and virus-surveillance system.
