“Doctor Yong” shows the differences in “small monkeypox” species, pointing out that Clade 1b is very contagious – very bad.

“Mor Yong” Define the category of species. “Smallpox” point “Group Streets 1b” Spreading and it is easy to be infected So it is found in children and women.

On August 22, 2024, it was reported that Dr. Dr. Department of Pediatrics Faculty of Medicine Chulalongkorn University sent a message about it Smallpox outbreak It was said that there was an outbreak in America around this year, 2003. It is an importation of rats from Africa. For use as a pet is the Giant Gambian Rat The rat has the Mpox virus that was introduced and it has spread to prairie dogs, which are members of the rodent family. And after that it spread to people. and there is a connection between people and people So a revolution happened. The outbreak can be controlled.

After that, it was occasionally found in humans. Usually, if it is a cluster outbreak, it is found in Africa Outside of Africa, it is mostly found alone. and he is infected with the disease from animals in the rodent family or the mouse family

In 2022, a revolution outside of Africa was discovered. It started in Spain after the Main Festival and has spread around the world to more than a hundred countries. There are more than 100,000 patients, most of them, 97-98 percent, in adults, men, from young to middle-aged people. It is a close connection. or that you have sex Especially in the group of gay people.

Most of this disease is moderate. Since the outbreak outside Africa more than 2 years ago until now there are hundreds of thousands of patients. and there were about 200 deaths, so overall the disease was not bad. There is a low death rate or about 0.2% or 1 in 500 cases The virus is found to be Group 2 Clade 2b.

for Thailand From the beginning of the revolution until today There were more than 800 patients, 97.5% of them male, and most of them mild.

This year, 2024, there has been an epidemic in Africa such as Congo, Burundi, Kenya, Rwanda, with more than 15,000 cases and up to 3.4 percent of deaths (537 cases out of 15,600 cases), with deaths among children. and those with immune system problems Tested for viruses detected Group 1 Clade 1b This is different from previous revolutions in countries outside of Africa. Thus causing concern about This disease will spread throughout the world. The spread of the disease will not be the same as before. which spread outside of Africa and can be found in both men and women It is much more violent.

But, “Mor Young” also posted about it Smallpox MPOX, species classification of smallpox Mpox He said that currently, from the decoding of DNA, smallpox is separated into 2 groups (Clade), that is group one and group 2.

Most outbreaks are in Africa in group 1 and most outbreaks are outside of Africa. It will be group 2. Both group 1 and group 2 will be further divided into subgroups a and b. Outbreaks outside of Africa will be group 2b strains.

Recently, there has been an outbreak with many people infected. in the Democratic Republic of the Congo Patient is suspected and so far 20,000 cases and deaths have been confirmed. at a rate of 3 to 4 percent The species foundFragments group 1b

show that this species Can communicate with each other easily and has a high level of difficulty It was found that more than half of the children. and most of those who died He was a child with a weak body. Thus causing the need to be careful and cause for concern. Therefore, the World Health Organization has declared that it is an international disease crisis of concern and must be monitored.

Smallpox, new strain 1b, outbreak in Africa This is worrying and needs to be monitored. After the revolution in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the disease has spread to 10 countries in Africa. The infectivity of the disease is different from the 2b strain that has spread outside of Africa.

The 1b strain is widespread and highly contagious. It is therefore found in children and women, unlike the 2b strain which is more difficult to transmit. It is found mostly in men. young to middle-aged with close contact Or have sex with a patient.
