"Australia appears to be experiencing a re-emergence of the infectious disease
mpox, formerly called monkeypox.
Some 40 cases have been recorded so far in 2024, already surpassing the total
number recorded for 2023 (26). Victoria has reported 24 cases this year, while
Queensland saw ten cases reported in May.
There was previously a significant mpox outbreak in 2022, with a total of 144
cases across Australia. All cases since 2022 have been in males, most commonly
those aged 30 to 39. Mpox cases are on the rise elsewhere, too.
So what is mpox? And is there a vaccine available? Here’s what to know about
this virus."
