Across 133 confirmed mpox zoonotic index cases reported during 1970-2021 in Africa, cases occurred yearround near the equator, where climate is consistent. However, in tropical regions of the northern hemisphere under a dry/wet season cycle, cases occurred seasonally. Our findings further support the seasonality of mpox zoonotic transmission risk.
