Abstract

Reports of 10 suspected cases of monkeypox in Likouala Department, Republic of the Congo, triggered an investigation and response in March 2017 that included community education and surveillance strengthening. Increasing numbers of outbreaks suggest that monkeypox virus is becoming a more prevalent human pathogen. Diverse approaches are necessary for disease control and prevention.

Keywords: Likouala Department; Republic of the Congo; community members; epidemiology; healthcare workers; monkeypox; monkeypox virus; outbreak; surveillance; viruses; zoonoses.
