To understand the dynamics of mpox, we studied its spread in Burundi, Uganda, Rwanda, Congo, and Kenya before and after the implementation of interventions. Using a Bayesian framework, a simple mathematical model of Susceptible-Infected-Recovered type was calibrated and fitted to the 2022 mpox data covering the period before the introduction of intervention strategies.

These quantitative thresholds provide actionable guidance for tailoring vaccination strategies to different epidemiological conditions. In particular, sustained vaccination strategies that achieve coverage above the threshold predicted by our model (approximately 80 %) can guarantee mpox eradication, even in situations with strong transmission rates.
