According to foreign media, after these cases, the alarm has been raised that this deadly virus may soon spread to other African countries that are currently facing outbreaks of other viruses.
Mpox clade 1 has also been identified in Burundi, Central African Republic, Democratic Republic of Congo, Gabon, Uganda and Kenya.
Previously limited to five African countries, there have already been five confirmed cases in the UK this year. The latest case was identified today in Leeds by a person recently returned from Uganda.
The risk to the UK remains low, but Travel Health Pro has issued a warning for travelers to and from the country to take extra care.
As there is no pre-travel vaccine for mpox in the UK, people are advised to consult a health professional about their ability to travel, the Mirror reports.
Mosquito bites also transmit the Oropouche virus in many South American countries and in a Caribbean country popular with tourists.
More than 10,000 people in Brazil, Colombia, Cuba, Panama, Peru, Ecuador, Guyana, Bolivia and the Dominican Republic have been infected this year.
There are no specific treatments or vaccines for the virus, which has led to several deaths. Symptoms include fever, severe headache and muscle aches. Other symptoms that appear later may be abdominal pain and cramps, nausea, vomiting.
