Over 120 countries reported cases of mpox between January 2022 to December 2024. As of 08 December 2024, the distribution of reported MPXV clades by country of detection is shown in Figure 1. To date, clade Ib MPXV in Africa has been detected in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (in South Kivu, North Kivu, Kinshasa, Kasai, Tshopo and Tanganyika provinces), as well as in Burundi, Kenya, Rwanda, Uganda, Zambia, and Zimbabwe. Seven countries outside of Africa have detected clade Ib MPXV.
On November 16, health officials announced the confirmation of the first U.S. case of a new strain of mpox. The California Department of Public Health identified the strain as the Clade I variant, associated with the ongoing mpox outbreak in East Africa.
Various global health threats have recently continued to pose significant challenges across regions. From outbreaks like Mpox and Dengue Fever to emerging diseases such as Oropouche virus and Avian Influenza, staying updated on the latest developments is crucial for public health safety. Here’s a snapshot of the most recent data and updates on these infectious diseases worldwide.
BioPerfectus two monkeypox PCR kits have been officially included on the Global Fund's list.
BioPerfectus has been actively supporting global efforts in mpox testing and control, delivering real-time PCR kits to key health organizations, including Africa CDC, the African Union, and ASLM. Our monkeypox PCR kits have undergone evaluation, consistently proving their performance across multiple assessments:
On August 14, 2024, the WHO declared Mpox (formerly monkeypox) a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC). This year, 13 African countries reported 17,541 cases and 517 deaths, with the DRC alone accounting for 16,789 cases and 511 deaths.
Africa CDC reports mpox (monkeypox) spread in Burundi, Kenya, Rwanda, and Uganda.
World Zoonoses Day, observed on July 6th, aims to raise awareness about zoonotic diseases and their profound impact on global health. This day emphasizes the crucial link between human health, animal health, and the environment, aligning with the #WHO's One Health principles. 🐾🌿 #Zoonoses are diseases that can be transmitted between animals and humans. Some well-known zoonotic diseases include #Marburg virus, #mpox (monkeypox) virus, #Ebola virus disease, and avian influenza. #BioPerfectus provides a range of zoonosis diagnostic solutions to support global health. During outbreaks, we supplied real-time PCR kits for both Ebola and mpox viruses to #Africa CDC, the African Union, and ASLM, enhancing local testing and control efforts.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is issuing this Health Alert Network (HAN) Health Advisory to notify clinicians and health departments about the occurrence, geographic spread, and sexually associated human-to-human transmission of Clade I Monkeypox virus (MPXV) in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) on December 7, 2023.
Today, we spotlight the remarkable journey of BioPerfectus's global footprint, a testament to our significant growth and expansion.
Today is World Health Day 2023 - a day dedicated to recognizing worldwide efforts toward improving public health and human well-being. At BioPerfectus, we work alongside our partners to address the world's pressing healthcare challenges.
BioPerfectus is proud to launch two new PCR products: Mycoplasma Hominis Real Time PCR Kit and Treponema Pallidum Real Time PCR Kit.
We are pleased to share our efforts in public health in Ecuador, where we have worked closely with the laboratories of the Ecuadorian Ministry of Health to combat the monkeypox outbreak and the COVID-19 pandemic, flu, and other infectious diseases worldwide by providing BioPerfectus’ diagnostic solutions.
BioPerfectus is proud to introduce Thirteen more new members for Zoonotic Infectious Diseases Total PCR Solution, providing our partners with verified products and rapid response to a global health emergency.
Jiangsu BioPerfectus Technologies Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “Bioperfectus”) applied for the clinical evaluation in XYZ Laboratory (XYZ Laboratory 2009 Ranch Rd. 620 N, STE 325, Austin, TX 78732, USA), a CAP accredited CLIA certified high complexity clinical molecular diagnostic laboratory to perform and report the Bioperfectus Monkeypox Virus (MPXV) Fast Real Time PCR Kit.
In October 2022, Bioperfectus supplied Monkeypox Virus Real Time PCR kits to Africa CDC to increase the distribution of monkeypox virus test kits to African regions as part of Africa CDC’s continued commitment to addressing the developing emergency.
BioPerfectus is pleased to announce that Monkeypox Virus (MPXV) Fast Real Time PCR Kit, Monkeypox Virus Genotyping Real Time PCR Kit, Monkeypox Virus/Varicella-zoster Virus/Variola Virus Real Time PCR Kit, Monkeypox Virus and Orthopoxvirus Real Time PCR Kit have been approved by the UK Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) and are now officially available for Great Britain and Northern Ireland market.
Nucleic acid extraction provides a foundation for many extensive research and applications (for example cloning, PCR analysis, and next-generation sequencing technology in the field of whole genome and transcriptome), and the obtained nucleic acid can be used in a variety of ways. Nucleic acid purification and quality assessment are important steps in experimental workflows, and the quality of nucleic acids can affect the performance in downstream reactions.
Infectious diseases spread rapidly, and individuals with viruses can spread the infection to many other people in their community. Bioperfectus is still in a race against time and a guardian of humankind.
Nowadays, emerging infectious diseases significantly threaten global public health and socioeconomic security and will change how people live. COVID-19 is a notable example. There might also have an outbreak of Monkeypox based on the current situation. When a disease outbreak occurs, PCR would be a suitable way to accurately identify the pathogen and detect it in the early stage.
A recent publication in the Journal of Public Health in Africa highlights a concerning rise in #Mpox (monkeypox) cases across several West African countries, particularly Sierra Leone, Ghana, Liberia, and Malawi. The study identified widespread circulation of Clade II, with both Clade IIa and IIb lineages co-circulating in Liberia and Ghana.
BioPerfectus has developed a suite of tests for detecting the mpox virus and possesses extensive experience in the prevention and control of mpox disease on a global scale.
