| 24-06-2026 | Yellow fever - Global | Globally, in 2025 and early 2026, sylvatic yellow fever (YF) transmission in high-risk areas has been strongly influenced by rainfall, temperature and mosquito ecology. In 2025, the epidemiological situation was defined by sustained transmission in Africa and a notable rise in the Americas, including spread into lower‑risk zones. African Region : Twenty-six countries in the WHO African Region and one in the WHO Eastern Mediterranean Region are considered high-risk for YF as per EYE strategy classification. Of these 27 countries, 26 have introduced the yellow fever vaccine in their routine immunization schedule, however coverage in many countries remains below target with an average coverage of 65% across the region in 2024. Since 2023, eight countries with no recent activity have detected new cases, indicating viral circulation in areas with low vaccination coverage and limited surveillance capacity. In 2025, two outbreaks were recorded (in Angola and in Central African Republic) along with several events that required emergency vaccination. From January to May 2026, 16 confirmed cases were reported in three countries (Burkina Faso, Central African Republic and Cameroon), with additional suspected cases under investigation reported in five countries (Angola, Côte d’Ivoire, Gabon, Ghana, and Nigeria). Most infections are linked to ongoing sylvatic transmission spilling over into rural, under‑immunized communities. Recurrent events are straining health systems and increasing the risk of cross‑border spread. Region of the Americas: All 13 countries at high-risk for YF as per EYE strategy classification include the vaccine in their routine immunization, but coverage varies widely. After limited activity in 2024, transmission expanded sharply in 2025, including into areas that had not reported cases for decades. The region recorded 241 cases and 100 deaths between late 2024 and early 2025, an eightfold increase from the previous year. From January to May 2026, six countries (Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Venezuela) reported 79 confirmed cases, with Colombia most affected due to sylvatic exposure and travel by unvaccinated visitors. Ecological suitability for mosquito vectors, uneven vaccination coverage, increased human mobility, and the expansion of urban areas into forested environments continue to facilitate viral transmission. Other Regions: In regions outside Africa and the Americas, the risk of YF is primarily associated with imported cases, as no established local transmission cycles are present. Many countries require proof of vaccination for travellers from at‑risk areas. No imported cases were detected in 2025–2026, but ongoing transmission elsewhere, expanding vector habitats, rapid urbanization, and high international mobility mean the risk of introduction persists. The impact of any imported case would depend on rapid detection and the ability to respond effectively in areas where competent mosquito vectors are present. | Social | WHO | |

| 14-02-2026 | Mpox: recombinant virus with genomic elements of clades Ib and IIb – Global situation | In December 2025, the United Kingdom detected the first reported case of a clade Ib/IIb MPXV recombinant strain. 5 After classification of this case and posting in a public database as a novel MPXV recombinant strain, a case of mpox detected in India in September 2025 was retrospectively reclassified as a closely-related recombinant strain based on sequencing data. To date, these are the only known cases of this recombinant virus. Case detected in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland The case was identified following testing of a vesicular swab from a traveler who had returned from a country in the Asia Pacific region in October 2025. During laboratory confirmation, the virus was initially typed as clade Ib MPXV by qPCR. Subsequent whole genome sequencing revealed that the MPXV strain identified was distinct from other known clade Ib MPXV strains with phylogenetic analysis indicating that the genome had regions similar to both clade Ib and clade IIb MPXV reference sequences, suggesting that it is an inter-clade recombinant. To confirm this unusual finding, sequencing was repeated on the original extract from the primary sample, a fresh extract from the same primary sample, a second swab collected from the patient at the same time, and a cultured isolate derived from the initial swab. This repeat sequencing yielded identical viral genome sequences from the two clinical swabs and the cultured isolate, supporting the initial findings of a new recombinant strain, and showing that it can replicate and presents potential for onward transmission. This strain is a recombinant MPXV, containing genetic elements from both clade Ib and clade IIb MPXV. A small number of contacts were identified and followed up in the United Kingdom; none developed any clinical features of mpox. Health worker contacts had worn full personal protective equipment (PPE) during provision of medical care to the patient. The authorities of the United Kingdom continue to investigate the significance of this recombinant MPXV strain through phenotypic characterization studies. Case detected in India On 13 January 2026, the National IHR Focal Point (NFP) of India notified WHO of a mpox case with an inter‑clade recombinant MPXV which was, upon whole-genome sequencing, found to have genomic elements of clades Ib and IIb MPXV. The recombinant virus was found in samples from a man with mpox who had presented for care in September 2025. The patient had reported recent travel from a country in the Arabian Peninsula, where he resides as an overseas worker. He developed symptoms on 1 September 2025, while still abroad. After his return to India, real‑time PCR confirmed MPXV infection on 11 September 2025. Clade differentiation PCR performed on 15 September 2025 initially identified this virus as clade II MPXV. Initial genomic sequencing analysis suggested features consistent with clade IIb MPXV. However, following the update of the global Nextclade database on 16 December 2025, which included the recombinant clade Ib/IIb MPXV strain reported by the United Kingdom, the virus from the patient in India was reclassified as belonging to the recombinant strain. Recombination analysis demonstrated mosaic patterns containing genomic regions derived from both parent clades. Following the initial diagnosis, the patient was hospitalized, did not experience any medical complications, and fully recovered, testing negative for MPXV on 29 September 2025. The case reported no close contacts in India, and no known secondary cases were identified following this introduction of the recombinant clade Ib/IIb MPXV in India. Full or near‑full genome retrieval (>99%) from both the sample and a sample-derived virus isolate enabled phylogenetic analysis showing >99.9% similarity to the recombinant strain detected in the United Kingdom. A total of 34 recombinant tracts were observed in the sequence reported by India, while 28 recombinant tracts were observed in the sequence reported by the United Kingdom; 16 recombinant tracts were common to both strains. This case in India therefore represents the earliest known detection of this recombinant strain globally, having preceded the event reported in the United Kingdom. Consistent with the case reported in the United Kingdom, clinical presentation was consistent with cases due to clade I or clade II MPXV (non-recombinant MPXV) infection. | Social | WHO | |

| 10-12-2025 | Seasonal influenza - Global situation | Globally, influenza activity has increased since October 2025 with influenza A viruses predominant among the viruses detected globally. In many northern hemisphere countries, acute respiratory infection levels increase at this time of year. These increases are typically caused by seasonal epidemics of respiratory pathogens such as influenza, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and other common respiratory viruses. The exact timing of the onset, the duration, magnitude and the severity of each epidemic might vary by location, influenced by multiple factors such as type of circulating viruses (including influenza and other respiratory pathogens), relative population immunity and environmental conditions. In the northern hemisphere, some countries have reported early starts to the influenza season. In other countries, influenza activity is starting to increase, but has not yet reached the epidemic threshold. In the southern hemisphere, some countries have had unusually long seasons compared to previous years, with virus activity remaining higher than usual in recent months. Global influenza surveillance and monitoring is conducted through the Global Influenza Surveillance and Response System (GISRS), a WHO-coordinated network of over 160 institutions in 131 Member States. GISRS is tasked with conducting year-round surveillance and monitoring of influenza viruses and serving as the global alert mechanism for the emergence of novel influenza viruses and other respiratory pathogens with pandemic potential. In the northern hemisphere temperate and sub-tropical countries, areas and territories, influenza activity was generally low from June to August 2025. Activity gradually increased in September and continued to increase through November 2025. Influenza A viruses, especially A(H3N2) viruses, predominated during this period (Fig. 1). In the southern hemisphere temperate and sub-tropical countries, areas and territories, influenza activity generally decreased from June 2025 and remained low through August. However, a slight increase has been observed since September. Influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 viruses predominated in June and July; however, A(H3N2) viruses have predominated since September (Fig. 2). In tropical areas, there has been sustained influenza activity from June through November. Influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 viruses predominated through July. Since then, the proportion of influenza A(H3N2) viruses among reported detections has increased and has become predominant since the end of September (Fig. 3). Figure 1.

Source: GISRS: https://worldhealthorg.shinyapps.io/flunetchart/ Genetic characteristics of recent seasonal influenza viruses Influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 and influenza B/Victoria lineage viruses continue to circulate in all regions albeit at low levels. Influenza A(H3N2) viruses Based on genetic sequence data available in GISAID , a mixture of A(H3N2) haemagglutinin (HA) clades and subclades are currently circulating globally; however, there has been a recent and rapid rise in a particular subclade of A(H3N2), J.2.4.1 (alias subclade K Nextclade / Nextstrain nomenclature). A(H3N2) subclade K viruses have genetically drifted from related J.2.4 viruses and have several amino acid changes in their HA in comparison. Detections of subclade K viruses are increasing in many parts of the world, with the exception, to date, of South America. Subclade K viruses were particularly evident from August 2025 in Australia and New Zealand and have now been detected in more than 34 countries over the last 6 months. Figure 4. Influenza A(H3N2) percent positivity reported for epidemiological week 48 (24 to 30 November) 2025 Source: GISRS: https://www.who.int/teams/global-influenza-programme/surveillance-and-monitoring/influenza-surveillance-outputs Overview of seasonal influenza by WHO Region African region Influenza detections in the WHO African Region overall increased in October with influenza A(H3N2) predominant. The timing and predominant virus varied by zone. In the western part of the region, influenza detections increased in September and October with A(H3N2) predominant since October. All seasonal subtypes have been detected continuously in the middle and eastern parts of the region. Influenza activity peaked in May 2025 in South Africa with almost exclusively A(H3N2) detections; in recent weeks influenza activity has increased slightly but remained low. Eastern Mediterranean Region While influenza activity in the WHO Eastern Mediterranean Region overall increased in October with A(H3N2) viruses predominant, there were variations by zone. In countries in the northern part of the region, influenza detections increased in October with influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 predominant and lesser proportions of influenza A(H3N2) and B virus detections reported. In the Arabian Peninsula, influenza detections also increased in October but with influenza A(H3N2) viruses predominant. European Region As of 21 November 2025, reported rates of influenza-like illness (ILI) and/or acute respiratory infection (ARI) in primary care were at baseline levels for most countries and areas of the WHO European Region. However, detections were increasing and regionally pooled test percent positivity in primary care sentinel surveillance rose above 10% in weeks 45 and 46 (ending on 15 November), marking the start of the 2025/26 influenza season for the European Region. This was approximately four weeks earlier than the median, but not out of the ordinary, with epidemiological trends similar to those observed in the 2022/23 influenza season. Influenza activity was variable between countries, with those in the west of the Region generally seeing earlier increases of influenza indicators compared to others. Influenza admissions, detections, and percent positivity in hospital surveillance were also increasing from inter-seasonal levels, with a higher proportion aged 65 years or older. A majority of influenza detections from sentinel and non-sentinel primary care and hospital surveillance systems were A(H3N2) viruses. Region of the Americas During the 2025 southern hemisphere season in the Americas, influenza transmission exceeded the seasonal threshold in mid-March, remaining mostly at low to moderate levels. Circulation was driven by influenza A(H1N1)pdm09, reaching a peak positivity of 19%. Activity then declined to low levels until the end of August, when an increase in circulation was observed, associated with influenza A(H3N2) in Brazil and Chile. As of beginning of November, Chile remains at moderate levels of influenza A(H3N2) transmission, without evidence of increased severity or rises in outpatient consultations. As of 4 November 2025, subclade K had not been detected in South America. In the northern hemisphere countries of the Americas, during week 45 of 2025, seasonal influenza circulation remained low, with influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 predominating in the Caribbean and Central America. In North America, influenza activity—although still low—was increasing, mainly driven by influenza A virus detections. While most detections in Mexico were influenza A(H1N1)pdm09, a predominance of influenza A(H3N2) has been observed in the United States and Canada, with growing detections of the A(H3N2) subclade K.

| 05-12-2025 | Broader transmission of mpox due to clade Ib MPXV – Global situation | Since the lifting of the second PHEIC for mpox on 5 September 2025, and as of 24 November 2025, 43 new confirmed cases of clade Ib MPXV have been reported across six WHO regions outside areas where sustained community transmission of this virus strain has been occurring. In four of these regions (Region of the Americas, South-East Asia Region, European Region and the Western Pacific Region), 24 cases had reported no recent international travel, suggesting local transmission. Based on this, Italy, Malaysia, the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, and the United States of America are now considered to be experiencing community transmission of clade Ib MPXV. In addition, travel-related cases continue to be reported in many countries. Among the 43 cases, half (22) were documented among men who have sex with men, while other cases were linked to travel to countries with known community transmission of clade Ib, or secondary to travel-related cases (household contacts and/or sexual partners). This report provides an overview of these recent cases of mpox confirmed to be due to clade Ib MPXV, by WHO region and country, summarizing key available epidemiological information, followed by WHO’s rapid risk assessment and public health advice. Summary of reported mpox due to clade Ib MPXV in WHO Regions and countries from 5 September to 24 November 2025 WHO African Region Since the lifting of the PHEIC on 5 September 2025 and as of 24 November 2025, one country, Namibia, has reported clade Ib MPXV cases for the first time. Community transmission persists in Burundi, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Kenya, Malawi, Mozambique, Republic of Congo, Rwanda, South Africa, the United Republic of Tanzania, Uganda, and Zambia. Namibia Namibia notified WHO of one probable and two confirmed cases of mpox due to clade Ib MPXV. The index (probable) case linked to travel within the African Region and the two confirmed cases were his household contacts. No further cases have been reported following detection of this cluster. These are the first cases of mpox reported in the country. WHO Region of the Americas Two countries in the WHO Americas Region have reported a total of four confirmed cases of mpox due to clade Ib MPXV. One case detected in Canada had recently travelled, while three cases in the United States of America had no recent travel history or known epidemiological links to travellers. Canada Canada notified WHO of one confirmed mpox case due to clade Ib MPXV in an adult male with recent travel outside of the country and reporting no sexual partners after returning to Canada. The case received counselling on preventing further transmission. United States of America The United States of America reported three unrelated cases of mpox due to clade Ib MPXV in Long Beach (one case) and Los Angeles (two cases) counties, California. All three occurred among men who have sex with men, none of whom had a history of recent international travel or known exposure to mpox cases. None of the individuals had a previous MPXV infection or prior orthopoxvirus vaccination, and one case was immunocompromised. All three individuals were hospitalized, received standard medical care, and have fully recovered. Prior to the lifting of the PHEIC, the United States of America had reported six cases of mpox due to clade Ib MPXV, all linked to travel. Public health authorities conducted contact tracing among household, healthcare-facility and social contacts. No additional cases of mpox due to clade Ib MPXV have been detected to date. Public health investigations suggest ongoing community transmission of clade Ib MPXV among men who have sex with men and their social networks in southern California. Viral genomic sequencing data indicate that the three California cases may be linked to a previously reported case in the country in August 2025. WHO South-East Asia Region From 5 September to 24 November 2025, five cases of mpox due to clade Ib MPXV have been reported in the WHO South-East Asia Region, all in Thailand. All cases had a recent history of international travel and three self-identified as men who have sex with men. Thailand Thailand notified WHO of five new cases of mpox cases due to clade Ib MPXV. The cases included four males, three of whom self-identified as men who have sex with men, and one female. Travel histories indicate associations with recent travel to the United Arab Emirates, Oman, and the Russian Federation, where exposure to infection is likely to have occurred. Prior to 5 September, Thailand had reported five cases of mpox due to clade Ib MPXV, all of which were associated with international travel. WHO Eastern Mediterranean Region Three countries in the WHO Eastern Mediterranean Region, Egypt, Lebanon and Qatar have reported six cases of mpox. Although the clade was not documented in Egypt and Lebanon, two cases attributed to clade Ib MPXV were reported in Qatar. Qatar Qatar notified WHO of two cases of mpox due to clade Ib MPXV. One adult male and one adult female, linked to travel within the Eastern Mediterranean Region. Prior to this period, Qatar had reported three cases of mpox due to clade Ib MPXV, all of which were associated with international travel. WHO European Region Countries in the WHO European Region have reported a total of 27 mpox cases due to clade Ib MPXV. Of these, 18 cases were classified as autochthonous, with no relevant history of recent international travel, suggesting undetected community transmission (Italy, the Netherlands, Portugal, and Spain). Two cases (reported from Belgium and the United Kingdom) were related to travel within Europe and five cases to travel outside of Europe (East Africa, Uganda, United Arab Emirates), either to or from countries experiencing community transmission of clade Ib MPXV but also to or from countries where no community transmission has been reported, including Angola, the United Arab Emirates, and Viet Nam. Furthermore, at least 15 of the 27 cases, and 14 of the 18 locally acquired cases occurred among individuals who self-identified as men who have sex with men. Belgium Belgium reported to WHO one case of mpox due to clade Ib MPXV with recent travel to the Netherlands. This individual reported having had multiple sexual contacts with other men while in the Netherlands. Prior to 5 September, Belgium had reported six mpox cases caused by clade Ib MPXV, all linked to travel. France France notified WHO of one case of mpox due to clade Ib MPXV in an adult male traveller who had returned from East Africa. Prior to this period, France had reported three cases of mpox due to clade Ib MPXV, all linked to travel. Germany Germany notified WHO of three cases of mpox due to clade Ib MPXV. All three cases had a recent history of international travel: one, an adult male who had travelled to Angola, another an adult female who had travelled to Uganda, and the third, an adult male who had travelled to Viet Nam. Uganda has community transmission of clade Ib and Viet Nam has not previously reported cases of this subclade. Prior to 5 September, Germany had reported 12 mpox cases due to clade Ib MPXV, most of which were linked to travel. Greece Greece notified WHO of its first case of mpox due to clade Ib MPXV, in an adult male with a recent history of travel to the United Arab Emirates before arriving in Greece. Ireland Ireland reported two cases linked to a small cluster which was reported before 5 September 2025. The index case had history of recent travel outside Europe. The first locally acquired case was a child ( Italy Italy notified WHO of two cases of mpox due to clade Ib MPXV in adult males who had no history of recent international travel or known contact with mpox cases. There was no epidemiological link between these cases. Epidemiological investigations and contact tracing were conducted, and no additional cases were identified.

| 03-10-2025 | Chikungunya virus disease- Global situation | Global overview Globally as of December 2024, current or previous autochthonous transmission of CHIKV had been reported from 119 countries and territories across six WHO regions. In addition, 27 countries and territories had evidence of established and competent Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus vector populations but had not yet documented autochthonous CHIKV transmission. Per available data from January to September 2025, 263 592 suspected and 181 679 confirmed CHIKV disease cases and 155 CHIKV disease-related deaths have been reported globally. While certain WHO Regions are reporting lower case numbers compared to 2024, others are experiencing marked increases. This heterogeneity in regional trends complicates the interpretation of a global increase. Instead, the data suggest localized resurgence or emergence in specific geographic areas. The region of the Americas has reported the highest number of cases followed by the European region (comprised of cases reported predominantly from French Overseas Departments in the Indian Ocean). Table 1: Number of suspected and confirmed CHIKV disease cases and deaths by region in 2025, as of September 2025. *Note: the date of last report varies by country Figure 1: Geographical distribution of CHIKV disease cases as reported to WHO or Publicly shared by Ministries of Health from January to September 2025 Regional overview African region As of September 2025, a total of 2197 suspected and 108 confirmed CHIKV disease cases have been reported from four countries: Comoros, Kenya, Mauritius, and Senegal with Mauritius recording the highest number of cases. In Comoros, between 1 January to 31 May 2025 (epi week 1 and epi week 22), a total of four confirmed cases have been reported, while Senegal reported seven confirmed cases. In Mauritius, a total of 1583 cases have been reported between 15 March to 4 August 2025 (epi week 12 to epi week 32), including 1543 local and 40 imported cases. There have been no reported deaths. In Kenya, a chikungunya outbreak was confirmed in Mombasa County as of 8 June 2025 (epi week 23). By 6 July 2025 (epi week 27), a total of 614 cases had been recorded, including 97 laboratory-confirmed cases. Since then, no further cases have been reported. No chikungunya-related deaths have been recorded to date. Eastern Mediterranean Region As of September 2025, a total of 1596 suspected, and 67 confirmed CHIKV disease cases have been reported from Pakistan and Somalia. In Pakistan, CHIKV disease cases in 2025 have been reported at rates similar to those in 2024. A notable increase occurred between 4 May to 21 June 2025 (epi weeks 19 to 25), with 101 to 121 suspected CHIKV disease cases reported per week during this period. In Somalia, a chikungunya outbreak has been confirmed in Sool region, with 488 suspected cases reported between January and June 2025. Eight out of 10 samples tested were laboratory-confirmed for chikungunya. Somalia has also recorded imported travel related cases. European Region As of 15 September 2025, two European countries—France and Italy—have reported locally acquired cases of CHIKV disease. France has recorded 479 cases distributed across 54 clusters, with 40 clusters currently active. Italy has reported 205 locally acquired cases distributed across four clusters of which three clusters are currently active. A total of 56 456 CHIKV disease cases, and 40 deaths, have been reported from four countries in the European region in 2025. In France, the increased incidence of CHIKV outbreaks in 2025 represent a deviation from observed patterns in previous years . In 2024, only one CHIKV disease case was reported. The larger number of chikungunya cases this year, along with their early onset, are linked to an epidemic in La Réunion and the broader Indian Ocean region, driven by a viral strain that is highly adapted to the Aedes albopictus mosquito. In the French overseas department of La Réunion, a total of 54 517 confirmed cases and 40 deaths have been reported in 2025 (as of 14 September). There has been a steady decline in new cases since 26 April (epi week 17) indicating that the outbreak is waning. This marks the first autochthonous transmission of chikungunya on the island since 2014. In Mayotte, following two imported cases from La Réunion, the first locally acquired CHIKV disease case was confirmed in March 2025. As of 18 September 2025, a total of 1255 locally acquired cases, including 39 hospitalizations, have been reported . The transmission receded since August with only a few cases reported per week on average. Region of the Americas As of 20 September 2025, CHIKV disease transmission continues across the Americas in line with expected seasonal patterns.
