An outbreak of monkey pox in Democratic Republic of Congo's (DRC) Equateur province has killed 22 of the 470 people infected since the start of 2008, according to medical officials.
"The epidemic began in the Tshuapa health zone and has reached almost all parts of the province," said August Makaya, the chief epidemiologist in Equateur. "Cases of monkey pox have been registered all over Tshuapa health zone but also in Befale and Mopono health zones and more recently in Ingende health zone, near Mbandaka [the main town in the province]," he said.
