"The molecular confirmation and further phylogenetic analysis of the strain isolated from a 59-year-old patient on a recent trip to Portugal was completed today by the Laboratory of Microbiology of the Department of Medicine of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki. It is a strain of monkeypox belonging to the West African clade, which is detected in cases in Europe and USA and usually causes mild and eventually self-limiting disease," National Public Health Organization (EODY) said in a statement on Friday.
