Mpox cases in a study of concurrent clade I and clade II MPXV circulation, Cameroon, 1979–2022. A) Epidemiologic curve of 137 suspected mpox cases. A 30-year gap occurred between the first 3 reported mpox cases and the consecutive cases since 2018, demonstrating increased surveillance in the country. The peak in 2022 corresponds to the worldwide alert raised on mpox, which led to enhanced mpox surveillance in Cameroon. B) Mpox genotyping results showing both clade I and clade II MPXV were identified. MPXV, monkeypox virus; ND, not determined.
