 Africa CDC Approves First Locally Made Mpox Test from Morocco


The Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (Africa CDC) has officially endorsed Morocco's first locally produced mpox test, marking a significant achievement in the fight against the virus across the continent. The test, a real-time PCR diagnostic tool, can rapidly detect mpox DNA in blood, saliva, or tissue samples. 


This endorsement, announced on Thursday, follows the Africa CDC's declaration of the mpox outbreak as a public health emergency three months ago. The approval highlights the test's reliability and effectiveness in detecting the virus, underscoring the African Union's ongoing efforts to enhance the self-sufficiency of public health systems on the continent.


The World Health Organization (WHO) had previously approved the Alinity m MPXV assay, another mpox diagnostic test, which detects the virus from lesion swabs. Since the beginning of the year, more than 50,000 cases of mpox and around 1,100 deaths have been reported across Africa, with Central Africa accounting for the majority of cases and fatalities.


Mpox, formerly known as monkeypox, is a viral disease transmitted from infected animals to humans and can spread through close human-to-human contact. Symptoms include fever, muscle aches, and large skin lesions, and it can be fatal if not properly managed.
