Articles, book chapters and trials on Mpox (formerly Monkeypox)

On May 11, 2023 the WHO declared an end to the Public Health Emergency of International Concern for mpox. This page is therefore no longer being updated with new content, but remains as a point of reference for interested parties.

This website offers research published in journals from all across Springer Nature as well as relevant book chapters, links to registered trials and links to the brand-specific collections.

The public health emergency of international concern, PHEIC, has been declared at an end WHO, 11 May 2023.

"Following a series of consultations with global experts, WHO will begin using a new preferred term “mpox” as a synonym for monkeypox. Both names will be used simultaneously for one year while “monkeypox” is phased out." WHO, 28 November 2022.
