You can consult Sciensano’s latest monkeypox bulletin on monkeypox surveillance in Dutch or French.

The monkeypox virus (MPOX) is mainly found in countries in West and Central Africa. In addition, since the beginning of May 2022, cases of monkeypox have been identified in several countries (within the EU and beyond). Infections mainly occur in men who have sexual contacts with men (MSM), but not exclusively. The number of persons diagnosed with MPOX is very low in 2023, but the virus is still present.
