The World Health Organization (WHO) declared a public-health emergency of international concern on 14 August 2024 in response to a significant increase in reported mpox cases and the rapid spread of a novel subclade, monkeypox virus (MPXV) clade Ib, in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). This rapid evidence profile identifies the available evidence about approaches to first-case response plans within Canada and internationally for MPXV clade I and how they are capturing adaptation of responses for different first-case scenarios.
