Abstract Mpox (formerly known as monkeypox) has re-emerged as a global health threat. However, little is known about public awareness and responses in urban African populations. The Republic of Congo has experienced sporadic Mpox outbreaks over several decades, with Brazzaville, the capital, identified as the epicenter of the 2025 outbreak. Despite this, no study has assessed the knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) of the population regarding Mpox.

Abstract In 2022, monkeypox virus (MPXV) clade IIb emerged resulting in a global epidemic driven by human-to-human transmission, mostly through sexual contact mainly among the population of men who have sex with men. To date, published data on the circulation of MPXV clade IIb in the central African region are absent. Here we describe a case of laboratory-confirmed mpox clade IIb lineage A2.2 in Pointe-Noire, the second largest city of the Republic of the Congo.
