Developing World Bioethics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Mpox, first identified in captive monkeys in 1958 and recognized in humans by 1970 in the Democratic Republic of Congo, was historically confined to sporadic zoonotic outbreaks in Central and West Africa. These outbreaks, often driven by rodent‐to‐human transmission in resource‐limited settings, reflect persistent systemic health disparities ...
