Concerns arise over a more infectious mpox strain in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, posing a potential global threat. The CDC has warned healthcare providers about the virus's potential dangers and urged swift medical care for travelers with symptoms. The new strain is more virulent and infectious than the global variant, with a fatality rate of about 10%. Vaccines and antiviral drugs are available for clade I infections, but limited clinical data raises uncertainty.
