Press/Media: Expert Comment › Popular

Description

It is more than a year since the first cases of mpox (formerly known as monkeypox) were reported in Spain. FPN’s Kai Jonas thinks it was a combination of a number of factors that helped stop the mpox epidemic, and we will not be able to disentangle them all now. He was cited in The Lancet in a report by Tony Kirby.
