LONDON, United Kingdom- The World Health Organisation said Tuesday it was coordinating with UK and other European health officials after British authorities detected at least seven cases of monkeypox this month.
Transmission is usually via close contact with infected animals such as rodents and monkeys and is limited between people. It has only been fatal in rare cases. None have known connections with the three earlier confirmed cases, the first of which was linked to travel from Nigeria, it added. “We are seeing transmission among men having sex with men,” Ibrahima Soce Fall, assistant director general for emergency response at the WHO, told reporters.
