Delivered a keynote at IUSTI 2024 in Sydney. Reviewed the history, neglect, and spread of mpox, emphasizing its potential for global emergence without sustained investments, particularly in Africa. #Mpox #GlobalHealth #IUSTI2024

Nigerian Infectious Diseases Society (NIDS) Statement on Mpox Outbreak Our statement highlights the alarming rise in cases, emerging transmission patterns, and the need for urgent interventions. We also provide key recommendations for governments, health workers, and the public.

Honored to be featured in @ScienceMagazine's compelling story on #mpox in Nigeria. My take: Sexual transmission of mpox is still ongoing, mostly among heterosexuals, with major implications for Africa & vaccine-naïve heterosexual populations globally. shorturl.at/xjvTt
