New Mpox Variant Detected in Toronto

Abstract:

Health officials in Toronto confirmed two travel-related cases of the mpox clade Ib variant. Experts say it’s unclear if the strain is more severe or transmissible. Symptoms remain similar to other mpox cases, and prevention, diagnosis, and treatment—including the Imvamune vaccine—remain unchanged. Public risk is currently considered low.
