The World Health Organization is weighing discussions on whether to declare an international public health emergency as a deadlier strain of mpox spreads in Africa.
Why it matters: Vaccines and public health surveillance could control the virus, which is killing about 3% of those infected with a new strain in Africa this year and spreading via sex, Science reports.
Driving the news: WHO director-general Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus wrote Sunday on X that he's considering convening an advisory committee to discuss whether an emergency should be declared.
Context: Less than 1% of infected people died during the global mpox emergency in 2022.
