History note
- Following a series of consultations with global experts, WHO began using a new preferred term “mpox” as a synonym for monkeypox. Both names were used simultaneously for one year until November 2023 while “monkeypox” is phased out. The term “monkeypox” will remain a searchable term in the International Classification of Diseases (ICD) to match historic information.
