Thailand confirmed an mpox infection on Wednesday , although it’s unclear whether it stems from the new clade Ib variant driving a growing epidemic in the Democratic Republic of Congo .

More than 17,000 cases and 517 deaths have been reported this year in 13 African countries.

Sweden became the first country outside Africa to report an infection involving the Ib strain, traced to a person who had traveled to the continent.
