Since a cluster of the viral disease was confirmed in the UK back in May, the outbreak has grown to more than 8000 cases and spread to 57 countries as far-flung ...

New Zealand has just become one of more than 50 countries to record cases of monkeypox in an outbreak that took off two months ago. In the meantime, the ministry advised people to practise good hand hygiene after contact with infected people or animals, and avoiding contact with any materials, like bedding, that have been in contact with them. The ministry was now working with Pharmac to explore options for access to smallpox vaccines that could be used as part of the targeted prevention of the spread of monkeypox in certain situations. "By nature, sexual activity involves intimate contact, which one would expect to increase the likelihood of transmission, whatever a person's sexual orientation and irrespective of the mode of transmission." "It can be transmitted by close physical contact or by droplets ... but the suspicion is that the cluster that's emerging in Europe has been spread by sexual contact." "Yet, they are a bit like the elephants of the virus world - their structure and replication make them easier to aim at than smaller, moving targets." But experts stress that we shouldn't worry. We, fortunately, don't appear to be dealing with the former, and genomic sequencing has linked the virus behind this outbreak to a West African clade that appeared in earlier international outbreaks. Since a cluster of the viral disease was confirmed in the UK back in May, the outbreak has grown to more than 8000 cases and spread to 57 countries as far-flung as Venezuela, Iceland, Latvia and South Korea. With the World Health Organisation recording a 77 per cent jump in cases in the past week - and now considering whether the outbreak should be called a public health emergency - this global flare-up appeared to be only getting started. "But at the moment, this is effectively an imported disease and we'd put it in the general category of tropical infection. "Once we reached that many cases in the world, and Australia was recording 20 of them, we were always going to see it in New Zealand ... I don't think there was any ever question of that," Otago University epidemiologist Professor Michael Baker said.

Monkeypox symptoms include headaches, acute onset of fever, body aches and a blister like rash across the face, mouth and genitals.

The vaccine is in short global supply and production is ramping up. Pharmac is now in the process of procuring an updated version of vaccine used to treat smallpox. This has prompted health experts to advise the sexually active to take precaution in areas where monkeypox is prevalent.

Since reports of Monkeypox emerged internationally, the Ministry has provided information about the virus on its website. A Monkeypox PCR test is available in New Zealand labs and is what has been used to detect this first case. There is no evidence of community transmission here.

The microbiologist says she doesn't want to see the virus established in New Zealand.

She said New Zealand had expected to see cases because there had been outbreaks overseas. So, do a Covid test too." New Zealand recorded its first monkeypox case over the weekend.

Think of the amount of people you've touched in the last 24 hours, compared to the amount of people you've been around who have coughed. Thomas said people who have monkeypox have a responsibility not to come into contact with other people while they have the virus. The ministry is currently working with Pharmac to explore options for access to smallpox vaccines that can be used as part of the targeted prevention of spread of monkeypox in certain situations. The person in their 30s from Auckland is in isolation at home, and has recently returned from overseas travel in a country with reported cases of monkeypox. Monkeypox is a viral disease that mostly affects rodents and primates found in rainforest areas of West and Central Africa. It is closely related to smallpox and can be transmitted to humans.
