Health officials report a stabilization in mpox cases in Congo, with weekly confirmed cases decreasing from nearly 400 in July to 200-300.

Experts stress the need for a broader vaccination campaign to prevent further outbreaks and mutations. The situation is complicated by the virus's transmission through sexual contact and animal spillover. Teljes cikk (Euronews.com)
