Abstract in brief

  • The Mpox outbreak in the UK starting in May 2022 mainly spread among gay, bisexual, and men who have sex with men (GBMSM), with behavioral changes and increased awareness helping to reduce transmission.
  • A mathematical model was used to project the epidemic over 26 weeks, considering factors like sexual partnerships and community structures, showing the cases peaked in mid-July due to decreased transmission and immunity among high-risk groups.
  • Vaccination alone did not immediately cause cases to decline, but targeted vaccination efforts helped prevent a rebound in infections that could have occurred with changes in behavior.]
