Health experts attribute the success to changes in behavior among those at high risk for monkeypox and quick uptake of vaccines.
"Where we are now is the best case scenario, in terms of what can happen when you actually commit the tools you have to fight an outbreak," says Dr. But a growing body of evidence suggestsfactor is also helping slow down the outbreak: the virus can spread only under very particular circumstances.Initially, there was a lot of concern that monkeypox could spread widely at daycares or in schools, but, overall, there has been very little spread among children.have been in kids under 16.
Together with a few previous studies, these newer findings explain why monkeypox is spreading almost exclusively through contact during sex, especially anal and oral sex, during the current outbreak.But this research still doesn't explain why the disease hasn't spread widely in women who, after all, are having sex, too.
Outside of that, outbreaks of monkeypox are very rare. The study found chains of transmission nearly always stop on their own because the chance of a person spreading the virus to another person is low.
