And Ncyt has the best pcr test in the world, with 99.99% efficacity

“Clade I has typically caused more severe disease, with fatality rates of 4%-11%, compared to around 1% for clade II. Ogoina said data from Congo suggests few have died of the new Ib version, but he feared some data is being mixed up.

More research is urgently needed, but three teams tracking mpox outbreaks in Africa say they cannot even access chemicals needed for diagnostic tests. Clade Ib can also be missed by some diagnostic tests.

Planning a response, including vaccination strategies, without this is difficult, the scientists said.

Karim said around half of cases in eastern Congo, where Ib is particularly prevalent, are only being diagnosed by doctors, with no laboratory confirmation.

Getting samples to labs is difficult because the healthcare system is already under pressure, he said. And around 750,000 people have been displaced amid fighting between the M23 rebel group and the government.

Many African laboratories cannot get the supplies they need, said Dr. Emmanuel Nakoune, an mpox expert at the Institut Pasteur in Bangui, Central African Republic, which also has clade Ia cases.

"This is not a luxury," he said, but necessary to track deadly.”

“5 - How will we know if cases of mpox1b are reported in France?

"The difference is made by PCR test, from samples taken from the ulcers, explains Professor Xavier Lescure (Bichat hospital). Sexual health centers or hospitals are equipped with tests that make the difference. Not the city labs, but they are required to send the samples to the national reference center", which will give the answer in a few days.“

“Mpox epidemic: 14 cases were recorded in France between August 28 and September 3”, suggests the virus is spreading very fast, compared to “A total of 143 cases of mpox have been counted by the authorities in France since January 1, 2024.”

Sorry should read 39th, not 49th.

Yes, 49th it’s great ‘erection’ from the 74th place in 24 hrs. And despite it being the 4th most expensive in the 100 different products. Bodes well for revenues.

Talking of “temperature” generating viruses, this is from the Hong longest scientist who discovered the Covid19 virus.

‘Is a more devastating pandemic than that of Covid-19 imminent?”

‘According to Hong Kong microbiologist and doctor Yuen Kwok-yung, a new pandemic is expected to emerge in the coming months. According to him, it would have its source in particularly rapid geopolitical, economic and climatic changes.

Will a new pandemic more important than that of Covid-19 be born? In any case, this is what Yuen Kwok-yung, a Hong Kong microbiologist and doctor, fears. According to him, this pandemic is inevitable and could thus cause much more serious damage than Covid-19. It calls on leaders to consider this possibility and to take action to address the global challenges posed by rapid climate change and emerging infectious diseases."The general public and leaders must admit that a new pandemic will occur, and probably sooner than we think," he warned.

"If I make such a frightening prediction, it is because, as we can clearly see, geopolitical, economic and climate changes are very fast," he explained to AFP. According to Yuen Kwok-yung, in his autobiography entitled "My Life in Medicine: A Hong Kong Journey", politicians must "come to their senses" and solve "global existential threats".The microbiologist believes that the evolution of climate and infectious diseases must become a top priority.

Expert with the government during the Covid-19 pandemic

Yuen Kwok-yung's CV speaks for him since in 2003, he and his team managed to identify Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome or SARS, an infectious lung disease caused by a coronavirus. This was a major step in order to treat the disease that appeared in southern China and Hong Kong, before being exported worldwide. "We have benefited from the 20 years of studies that followed the SARS epidemic," he says.

During the Covid-19 pandemic and while Hong Kong recorded some three million cases of infections, Yuen Kwok-yung made himself known as an expert to the government and wrote more than 100 studies on the virus. Nevertheless, he may find himself in delicate situations, especially when his call to lift restrictions in 2022 was rejected. The microbiologist was also targeted by complaints that put his medical license at risk after describing the Wuhan seafood market, where the first cases of Covid-19 had been detected, as a "crime scene".’

Interesting jobs advertised, particularly the Senior Scientist for the PCR Team?

Wasn’t the US launch supposed to be end 24/start 25? In any case excellent news. Which means more revenues earlier than was accounted for. Aren’t the results coming out next week? So sp momentum would not stop til then. Oh btw and the US investors will pile in non stop tomorrow as today is a bank holiday over there. People here have a chance to buy before the Yankees lol, after all Haleon is the US biggest health consumers company and so is well known to US investors and Fum has the product for the world largest market for ED.

Once againthe link is deleted. This is the WHO website, for Gods sake LSE!!??

Because of similarities between different illnesses symptoms, the who says “For these reasons, testing is key for people to get care as early as possible and prevent severe illness and further spread.”

“Identifying mpox can be difficult because other infections and conditions can look similar. It is important to distinguish mpox from chickenpox, measles, bacterial skin infections, scabies, herpes, syphilis, other sexually transmitted infections, and medication-associated allergies. Someone with mpox may also have another sexually transmitted infection at the same time, such as syphilis or herpes. Alternatively, a child with suspected mpox may also have chickenpox. For these reasons, testing is key for people to get care as early as possible and prevent severe illness and further spread.”

Mpox

Come on NCYT everyone is asking for your test and we shareholders are asking for the rns; we know you have one in the making. Make it this week please lol.

The links of the article in French and the French forum have both been deleted by LSE. Yet I see some links allowed! Strange, LSE come on!!!???

From the article I posted yesterday revUNICEF to procure tests. No one picked up on “Africa CDC, Gavi, UNICEF, WHO, and partners are also prioritizing infection prevention and control…”, which basically suggests these institutions are urging testing to control the spread.

The French chat are very positive for today and this week- I speak fluent French. Some are predicting €2.

This article in French is from a link from there. I used “Aa” on the top left on the address bar on iPhone for translation. Basically it says mpox mutation is rapid and extremely worrying and that experts are at loss how to contain it .

Rapid mutations of Mpox: towards a more virulent virus?

“The Mpox virus is now causing growing concern due to its rapid mutations. As the world tries to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic, Mpox could become an even more serious threat.”

“But this is only the tip of the iceberg. Experts fear that the virus will mutate faster than expected, making its management increasingly complex.”

“The case of Clade I is particularly alarming. While clade II took about five years to evolve and become more transmissible in humans, clade I achieved this transformation in less than a year. This suggests that Mpox could mutate at a much faster rate than expected, making it difficult to predict its severity and to put in place effective measures to counter it.”

“However, the new strains of Mpox, such as those of clade I and IIb, show signs of easier transmission between humans, which could bring its modes of spread closer to those of SARS-CoV-2.”

“The rapid mutation of Mpox and the potential emergence of new, more virulent strains pose a major challenge for global public health. The vaccines currently used to prevent Mpox may no longer be effective against these new strains, which would require the development of new vaccines and treatments.”

“Experts, such as Dr. Dimie Ogoina of the Niger Delta University Hospital, emphasize the importance of understanding this epidemic in order to respond to it effectively. Without a thorough understanding of the dynamics of transmission and the risks associated with new mutations, it will be difficult to control the spread of the virus and minimize its impact on vulnerable populations.

The rapid mutation of Mpox makes it a growing threat to global health. The differences with COVID-19 show that each virus poses unique challenges. It is essential to remain vigilant and invest in research to anticipate and respond to Mpox mutations, in order to avoid a health crisis of a magnitude similar to that of COVID-19.”

Rapid mutations of Mpox: towards a more virulent virus?

75% of the mpox fatalities are children yet the west is sitting on its bum. UNICEF is providing tests….i wonder who will be supplying them:

“Vaccines are one of several tools used to interrupt transmission and to protect children and communities against mpox. Africa CDC, Gavi, UNICEF, WHO, and partners are also prioritizing infection prevention and control, and risk communication and community engagement. As part of this, UNICEF is deploying personal protection equipment, diagnostic tests, medical treatment kits, hygiene supplies and tents to countries at the forefront of the crisis.”

https://www.unicef.org/press-releases/unicef-issues-emergency-tender-secure-mpox-vaccines-crisis-hit-countries

The former Gordon Brown is critical of the west lack of a proper response towards Africa…and mentions “tests”.

“Once again people are dying as vaccines, tests, and treatments that are available in the west, and which could have been assigned long before now to countries at the sharp end, have yet to arrive.”

“The Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention, Africa CDC, last week reported20,000 cases in 13 African countries, almost certainly an underestimate owing to the absence of adequate surveillance. Now the first cases have been registered as far away as Thailand and Sweden.”

Another worldwide alert – mpox is spreading. Here are three steps we can take to head it off | Gordon Brown | The Guardian

In the meantime test to isolate to control the spread, particularly if you don’t have the vaccine not to be overwhelmed. Not that vaccine doesn’t go with testing, as we’ve seen with Covid.

ValJu, how do you know the DHSC haven’t held contract discussion with ncyt? Do you have a crystal ball? Comment from the government health officials about the U.K. is preparing inc for testing would suggest contract announcement is a matter of time, probably next week. And not only from the U.K.’s, the French and others too. Ncyt partners and distributors in over 100 countries and proved themselves the world during Covid19 and have the best test in the world with 99.99 accuracy. Oh btw the £12m refund may have been agreed during discussion on Mpox contract lol.
