A virus originally found in animals, mpox – which causes the disease of the same name – is now circulating in humans.

The person diagnosed with mpox in New Hampshire has clade I mpox, one of two clades, or genetic types, of the virus. The variety at the center of a 2022 outbreak in the U.S. was clade II ...

The HSE added that those who have received two doses of the mpox vaccine, or previously had the virus, are considered to have protection against severe illness caused by the newer variant.

A New Hampshire resident has been diagnosed with clade I mpox, one of two types of the virus formerly called monkeypox, following a trip to eastern Africa, state health officials said Friday.

“The mpox virus is spread primarily through direct physical contact with someone who has mpox and has developed an infectious skin rash,” said State Epidemiologist Dr. Benjamin Chan.

The escalating violence in the east of the Democratic Republic of Congo has affected testing for the infectious mpox virus disease, which has afflicted thousands in the country and the wider region.
