Health officials in Thailand said on Thursday that they had confirmed a case of the version of mpox that prompted the World Health Organization to declare a global health emergency. It’s the second time that the new and deadlier version has been found outside Africa.
Shares of Danish biotech company Bavarian Nordic jumped more than 12% in early deals on Thursday after it reported stronger-than-expected earnings and announced a bumper vaccine order from an unnamed European country amid the ongoing mpox outbreak.
An escalating mpox outbreak is causing alarm among some health experts, who warn that the latest strain of the virus could be more fast-spreading and deadly than an early 2022 outbreak.
Thailand reported on Wednesday a case of mpox suspected to be caused by the new and potentially more deadly version of the virus. If confirmed, it would be the first such case in Thailand and would come a week after the World Health Organization declared the disease a global health emergency.
Mpox is "not the new Covid" and the risk to the general population is low, according to the World Health Organization's regional director for Europe.
MANILA — The Philippines has detected a new case of the mpox virus in the country, the first since December 2023, its health department said on Aug 19, adding it was awaiting test results before being able to determine the strain.
The Philippines reported its first case this year of mpox, previously known as monkeypox, on Monday, just days after the World Health Organization declared the disease a global health emergency.
Countries in Asia are closely monitoring for mpox cases after the World Health Organization recently declared an escalating outbreak in Africa as a global public health emergency.
