Figure 1. — Number of human monkeypox cases resulting from the inter-human transmission, Democratic Republic of the Congo, 1980–1984 (Summarized from Fine et al. 1988 [70],) (blue bars). The total number of infections (orange bars) encompasses instances of co-primary cases (i.e. there were 98 episodes of primary zoonotic introduction, involving 114 cases, for which there was no subsequent inter-human transmission). During this time there was only 1 episode that extended to four generations of interhuman transmission, which resulted in five human MPXV infections.
