Since the last situation report on the multi-country outbreak of cholera was published on 1 June 2023 (covering data reported until 15 of May), no new country reported a cholera outbreak. In total, 24 countries have reported cases since the beginning of 2023. The WHO African Region remains the most ...affected region with 14 countries reporting cholera cases since the beginning of the year. The overall capacity to respond to the multiple and simultaneous outbreaks continues to be strained due to the global lack of resources, including shortages of the Oral Cholera Vaccine (OCV) and cholera supplies, as well as overstretched public health and medical personnel, who are dealing with multiple parallel disease outbreaks and other health emergencies. Based on the large number of outbreaks and their geographic expansion, as well as a lack of vaccines and other resources, WHO continues to assess the risk at global level as very high.

A varíola dos macacos é uma doença infeciosa emergente causada por um vírus transmitido aos humanos por animais infetados, na sua maioria roedores. Pode ser propagado a outras pessoas, mas a transmissão de pessoa para pessoa, isoladamente, não pode facilmente sustentar um surto. A apresentaç...o clínica é semelhante à observada no passado com a varíola, mas menos grave. A varíola foi erradicada mundialmente em 1980; no entanto, a varíola dos macacos ainda ocorre esporadicamente em partes da África Central e Ocidental, perto das florestas tropicais húmidas. Normalmente, a mortalidade nos surtos da varíola dos macacos tem sido de 1 a 10%, mas com os cuidados adequados, a maioria dos doentes recupera. Este curso fornece uma introdução geral à varíola dos macacos e destina-se aos profissionais de saúde responsáveis pela prevenção e controlo da varíola dos macacos.
