(FILES) This file photo taken on August 16, 2022 shows a patient showing his hand with a sore caused by an infection of the monkeypox virus, in the isolation area for monkeypox patients at the Arzobispo Loayza hospital, in Lima, Peru. Shares of the pharmaceutical laboratories of Bavarian Nordic in Denmark, which manufactures a specific vaccine against the mpox, jumped up on August 15, 2024 following the decision of the World Organization of Health WHO to consider the resurgence of monkeypox cases together with an urgent need for health care in the world. A surging mpox outbreak in Africa, which was declared an emergency by the continent's health agency on August 13, is being driven by a new, more transmissible strain of the virus. The Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (Africa CDC) declared its first-ever Public Health Emergency of Continental Security (PHECS) for the deadly disease. Bavarian Nordic mainly supplies its mpox vaccine - called Jynneos in the US, Imvanex in the European Union - to governments and international organisations but began marketing it on the US market in April.
