Global organization report says bird flu and mpx could become pandemics

Primary tabs

The Global Preparedness Monitoring Board (GPMB), which tracks and monitors global pandemic preparedness, launched its annual report today (Oct. 14).

"Outbreaks of avian influenza H5N1 in cattle and its spillover to humans, and a new strain of mpox in Central Africa are the most recent signals of concern," the report begins. "The high likelihood that they will spread further should be a wake-up call for the global community."
