Donal Bisanzio, Richard Reithinger
Abstract
As of June 8, 2022, more than 1250 confirmed monkeypox cases have been reported from 28 countries considered as non-endemic, including Canada, Portugal, Spain, The UK, and the USA.1 Using an individual-based mathematical modelling framework, which has been applied to investigate the transmission of measles, Ebola, and SARS-CoV-2,2 we modelled a monkeypox outbreak in a simulated population of 50 million people with socioeconomic and demographic characteristics typical of a high-income European country.
