New mpox strain in DR Congo is 'incredibly worrying', say health officials.
The new variant of the mpox virus is spreading quickly along the eastern border.
It is thought to be driven by sexual transmission but can also be passed on through skin-to-skin contact.
Global health experts say the new variant risks cross-border and international spread of the virus.
A worldwide epidemic of mpox in 2022 was brought under control by vaccines.
