The incidence has risen since 1980, but recent analyses of epidemiological trends are lacking. We aimed to describe trends in suspected and confirmed mpox cases in DR Congo using epidemiological and laboratory mpox surveillance data collected from 2010 to 2023, and provide insights that can better inform the targeting and monitoring of control strategies. | Keywords: | Humans;Democratic Republic of the Congo;Female;Retrospective Studies;Incidence;Child;Child, Preschool;Male;Adolescent;Adult;Middle Aged;Infant;Young Adult;Population Surveillance;Aged;Infant, Newborn;Mpox, Monkeypox | Document URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/1942/49388 | ISSN: | 0140-6736 | e-ISSN: | 1474-547X | DOI: | 10.1016/S0140-6736(24)02669-2 | ISI #: | WOS:001422006400001 | Rights: | 2025 Elsevier Ltd.
