Items corresponding to entire populations or subpopulations. Might be geographically or temporally temporally limited.

population

The webpage contains visualization about Mpox confirmed case counts (cumulative, 7-day average, and daily) and death counts at both world and country levels, in a chart, map, and a table format showing the absolute case count change, since the first outbreak (May 6th, 2022). The case count is also available relative to population. The data is downloadable in figures (PNG & SVG) and text (CSV) formats.

Mpox Data Explorer

A species of ORTHOPOXVIRUS that is the etiological agent of MPOX, MONKEYPOX.

Monkeypox virus

Mpox virus

An organism of a particular biological taxon that is the site of reproduction of an organism of a different taxon.

host organism

Host

Homo sapiens

Infection by an etiologic agent that can be passed between animals and humans.

Zoonotic Infection

Zoonotic infection

A disease is a disposition (i) to undergo pathological processes that (ii) exists in an organism because of one or more disorders in that organism.

disease

Disease

A disease whose physical basis is an infectious disorder

infectious disease

Infectious Disease

A viral infectious disease that results in infection of primates, rodents and humans, located in skin, has_material_basis_in Monkeypox virus, which is transmitted by contact with the animal's blood, body fluids, rash, or with the body fluids of a sick person, transmitted by fomites, and transmitted by respiratory droplets. The infection has symptom fever, has symptom muscle ache, has symptom headache, and has symptom lymphadenopathy.

mpox

Mpox

A count of deaths in a population that is the total number of deaths that occur during a reference temporal interval.

cumulative death count

Cumulative Death Count

A count of individuals in a population who meet the criteria of some case definition during some time interval.

count of disease cases

Case Count

A count of deaths in a population that is the number of deaths that occurred during a proper part of a reference temporal interval.

incident death count

Incident Death Count

A viral infectious disease that results in infection of primates, rodents and humans, located in skin, has_material_basis_in Monkeypox virus, which is transmitted by contact with the animal&apos;s blood, body fluids, rash, or with the body fluids of a sick person, transmitted by fomites, and transmitted by respiratory droplets. The infection has symptom fever, has symptom muscle ache, has symptom headache, and has symptom lymphadenopathy.

viral Infectious disease

Viruses Infection

A count of cases in a population that is the number of individuals who come to meet the criteria of some case definition during a proper part of a reference temporal interval.

incident case count

Incident Case Count

A count of disease cases that is the total number of individuals who come to meet the criteria of some case definition during a reference temporal interval.

cumulative case count

Cumulative Case Count

 A count of simulated or physical individuals in a population.

Population count

Population Count

A data set that is about either some mortality rate or the death events themselves of some individuals of a given population of a particular biological taxon.

mortality data

Mortality

Minute infectious agents whose genomes are composed of DNA or RNA, but not both. They are characterized by a lack of independent metabolism and the inability to replicate outside living host cells.

Viruses

An organism of a particular biological taxon that is the bearer of an infectious dispositions towards an organism of a different particular biological taxon.

pathogen

Pathogen

A data item that is an aggregate of other data items of the same type that have something in common. Averages and distributions can be determined for data sets.
