95: 85: 64: 173: 33: 489:. It might be understandable that many people thought mpox transmission (caused by the clade IIb variant) disappeared, but it hasn't. Without figures to hand, I suspect that at present, there are still far more new mpox cases caused by either the clade IIb variant (or the clade I variant), rather than the new clade Ib variant that is of major concern. 518:
being caused by the clade Ib variant, and referenced them accordingly. I haven't deleted any suspected cases that were later shown not to be clade Ib in origin, not without consensus. I understand this page (and declared epidemic) is new with few entries at present - part of me doesn't want to
499:: Many of the cases listed on this timeline were only described as 'confirmed mpox cases'. The clade variant was not given, and looking at the references, the clade was unknown at that time. Understandably, before the clade was known there was 'suspicion' that they were clade Ib in origin. 528:
Add a new section, moving suspected cases that were later disproved as being clade Ib variant origin to this section, along with supporting citations, perhaps giving a heading like 'Suspected cases later confirmed as being of non-clade Ib origin' (suggestions welcome).
532:
Deleting suspected cases once disproved as being of clade Ib variant origin (perhaps adding a section on the talk page giving the source used to confirm the case). Even if this isn't the best response at present, this may be needed for an article clear up later.
462:: I'm a doctor, and I have to admit, it is very easy to get confused with the different clades, media reporting and new cases of mpox being reported. Strictly, this page/article should cover mpox cases caused by the clade Ib variant of the virus. This, 546:: Here, infections in countries suspected of being of clade Ib origin but later shown to be of clade II variant origin are being moved to a separate section "Clade II infections" (this is my thinking behind adding a new section). 492:
Since the new (2023-2024) mpox epidemic (or PHEIC) was declared by the WHO, suddenly there are lots of media reports on mpox. New cases of mpox, that wouldn't have previously been covered, are being reported in the news.
519:
discourage people from contributing by having them come back and find all their contribution is deleted, without knowing why, but eventually this page could end up cluttered with irrelevant entries.
267:– The title of the main page (African mpox epidemic) is under heavy contention, with most users in favour of changing the name to include the year of origin and remove the region of origin 241: 478: 341:: I see no reason to specify the continent unless there are similar articles for other continents. The year used depends on when the epidemic, as such, started. 233: 193: 151: 576: 141: 260: 581: 117: 221:
Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a
