The monkeypox outbreak could spread beyond U.K. borders, the CDC warns, particularly because there appears to be some undetected spread of the virus.

The outbreak could spread beyond U.K. borders, the agency said, particularly because there appears to be some undetected spread of the virus.

U.S. health officials are monitoring six Americans for potential monkeypox infection after they shared a flight with a British patient who tested positive for the virus. They sat within a three-row radius of the patient on a flight from Nigeria to the U.K. on May 4. The U.S. patients likely don’t have the virus but will be monitored for 21 days, McQuiston told STAT.

The first U.K. patient had recently traveled to Nigeria, where monkeypox is endemic, but the others appear to have gotten the virus in the U.K., STAT reported. None of the people who were infected domestically have known connections with the traveler, and the timing suggests that the traveler wasn’t the source of the other cases.

U.K. health authorities still aren’t sure how the patients contracted the monkeypox virus, STAT reported. Transmission typically occurs through droplets, though direct contact with lesions or bodily fluids can also lead to transmission.
