Monitoring Monkeypox Outbreaks
In the ongoing battle against the global monkeypox outbreak, access to detailed and accurate data is crucial. One such resource is the Global.health dataset, which tracks monkeypox (mpox) cases worldwide.
This dataset, available through Global.health's public data platform, includes confirmed, suspected, and discarded cases, along with demographic information, location, symptoms, medical treatment, and date of confirmed infection. This comprehensive line-list data provides epidemiological data for researchers and public health officials, helping them to better understand the spread and characteristics of the virus.
The dataset is typically found on Global.health's website or GitHub repositories dedicated to global infectious disease surveillance. While the exact URL for direct download wasn't explicitly listed, the Global.health project is known for sharing such datasets openly.
For those seeking verified mpox global case counts and summaries, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) references Global.health data and provides dashboards like the "2022-24 Mpox (Monkeypox) Outbreak: Global Trends" on shinyapps.io. This CDC citation confirms the use of Global.health for current detailed case data.
To access the full line-list dataset, you can:
- Visit the Global.health official website or their GitHub repository where they publish anonymized line list data and metadata for mpox and other diseases.
- Check their data download pages or API endpoints (if available) for the mpox dataset.
- Use the CDC global mpox trends dashboard to explore aggregated data and find references or links to underlying datasets.
If you need the most detailed, individual-level, open-access data (including suspected and discarded cases plus detailed demographics and clinical info), Global.health’s platform or dataset repository is the authoritative source to query or download.
As of the latest data, 4,265 patients have contracted monkeypox since May 6, 2022. The image used in this article is credited to Flickr user NIAID.

- Utilizing AI and data science, researchers can analyze the detailed demographic information, symptoms, medical treatment, and locations of confirmed, suspected, and discarded monkeypox cases from the Global.health dataset, thereby aiding in the understanding of the virus's spread and characteristics for medical-conditions such as monkeypox in the realm of health-and-wellness.
- The CDC employs data from Global.health's platform to monitor and visualize the global spread of monkeypox in dashboards like the "2022-24 Mpox (Monkeypox) Outbreak: Global Trends", bolstering their efforts in tracking and responding to medical-conditions like monkeypox and promoting health-and-wellness.
