This comes as several neighboring countries, including Sierra Leone, Liberia, and Guinea, have reported rising infections. The Gambia’s Ministry of Health stated that the detection of this case in a country where mpox is not currently circulating requires an immediate response. Authorities are actively engaged in contact tracing and community outreach to prevent further spread. Mpox, caused by a virus related to smallpox, can spread through animal-to-human contact or close human-to-human contact. Gambia is conducting further tests to identify the virus subtype, while neighboring countries have seen hundreds of cases, with several deaths reported. The World Health Organisation continues to monitor the situation, classifying mpox as an international health emergency.
