Objectives: To explore the global epidemiological trends in the prevalence and mortality due to mpox in various regions worldwide.
Methods: In this cross-sectional study the data about mpox outbreak were recorded by the "World Health Organization, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and GSAID" from August 2023 to August 2024, analyzing the epidemiological trends from different countries worldwide.
Results: The total number of mpox cases has reached 99,518 (95,196 cases from 115 countries that have not historically reported mpox; and 4,322 cases from 07 states that have traditionally reported mpox), from a total of 122 countries.
Reports of mpox are rising in Africa where the disease is endemic and in new countries where the disease has not been previously seen. The 2022 global outbreak of clade II mpox and an ongoing outbreak of the more lethal clade I mpox highlight the pandemic potential for monkeypox virus. Waning population immunity after the cessation of routine immunization for smallpox plays a key role in the changing epidemiologic patterns of mpox.

The global spread of the Mpox virus represents a significant public health challenge, particularly for regions with fragile healthcare systems. Afghanistan, already grappling with severe healthcare deficits, faces the added threat of Mpox, a zoonotic disease caused by the monkeypox virus. The recent emergence of Clade Ib, a new strain associated with rising outbreak cases, exacerbates concerns as Afghanistan's healthcare infrastructure continues to deteriorate due to reduced international aid, healthcare worker shortages, and an ongoing socio-political crisis.
