Mpox is an emerging, infectious disease that has caused outbreaks in at least 91 countries from May to August 2022. We assessed the link between international air travel patterns and Mpox transmission risk, and the relationship between the translocation of Mpox and human mobility dynamics after travel restrictions due to the COVID-19 pandemic had been lifted. Our three novel observations were that: i) more people traveled internationally after the removal of travel restrictions in the summer of 2022 compared to pre-pandemic levels; ii) countries with a high concentration of global air travel have the most recorded Mpox cases; and iii) Mpox transmission includes a number of previously nonendemic regions.

Article Synopsis
- The gaur, an endangered species in Thailand, has seen a population increase from 35 to 300 individuals in the Khao Phaeng Ma Non-Hunting Area, but this growth has sparked conflicts with nearby villagers.
- Researchers analyzed mitochondrial DNA samples from GPS-collared gaurs, discovering three haplotypes that indicate low genetic diversity, suggesting limited maternal lineages within the population.
- Findings from genetic tests indicate that the gaur population may face future contraction, highlighting the need for informed management strategies to promote long-term sustainability.
