According to information from experts US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)announced last Friday (24), There are at least two variants of the virus monkey flower roaming the country. The information indicates that the virus was already spreading among Americans before the CDC began investigating the problem in May 2022.

Most cases of infection in the United States were caused by the same strain, which spread to Europe and other parts of the world, but they also found another variant circulating in the country.

“It’s entirely possible that there are cases of smallpox in the United States that were previously unrecognized, but largely undetected,” said Jennifer McQuiston, deputy director of the CDC’s Division of Pathogens and High-Result Pathology.

The variants identified apparently evolved through strains found in Nigeria since 2017, which emerged after the region suffered from the first monkeypox epidemic in more than 40 years.

According to the data of the World Health Organization (WHO), more than 3,400 confirmed cases of monkeypox infected patients worldwide, in addition to a death caused by the disease. 1,310 new cases have been confirmed in the last few weeks alone.

Up to the present, The Ministry of Health has already confirmed 20 cases of the disease in Brazil, but 14 suspected cases are still awaiting test results. Last Monday (27), the first suspected case of an infected person was confirmed in Goiás.
