52:08Now PlayingScientists studying the new mpox strain that has spread out of the Democratic Republic of Congo say the virus is changing faster than expected, often in areas where experts lack the funding and equipment to properly track it. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that it will need at least $135 million over the next six months to combat the viral disease.
Mpox, formerly known as monkeypox, has been a public health problem in parts of Africa since 1970, but received little global attention until it surged internationally in 2022, prompting the WHO to declare a global health emergency. That declaration ended 10 months later. A new strain of the virus, known as clade Ib, has the world's attention again after the WHO declared a new health emergency.
