Nge-08 ka-Agasti 2022, iqela leengcali ze WHO ifikelele kwimvumelwano malunga negama-magama elaziwayo kunye nentsha inkawu intsholongwane (MPXV) hlu kileyo okanye amaqhosha. Ngako oko, iclade yangaphambili yeCongo Basin (Mbindi Afrika) iya kwaziwa ngokuba yiClade one(I) lize ilizwe langaphambili laseNtshona Afrika libizwe ngokuba yiClade two (II). Ngaphaya koko, iClade II inamacandelwana amabini uClade IIa kunye noClade IIb.
UClade IIb ubhekisa ikakhulu kwiqela le hlu kileyo ubukhulu becala kuqhambuko lwehlabathi luka-2022.
Ukuthiywa kwamagama emigca kuya kuphakanyiswa njengoko uqhambuko luqhubeka.
Umbono oxhasa umgaqo-nkqubo omtsha wamagama kukuphepha ukubekwa amabala. Ngenxa yoko, i-WHO ifumana igama elingabhekiseli kwindawo yejografi, isilwanyana, umntu okanye iqela labantu, kwaye elibonakalayo kwaye linxulumene nesifo. Ukuphunyezwa okubaluleke kakhulu kwesi sikhokelo kwabonwa ngoFebruwari 2020 xa isifo esibangelwa yinoveli intsholongwane ye-Corona Ifunyenwe eWuhan, eTshayina yathiywa ngokusemthethweni Covid-19 kunye nenoveli intsholongwane ye-Corona wabizwa SARS-selwe-2. Omabini la magama akazange abhekisele nakubaphi na abantu, iindawo okanye izilwanyana ezinxulumene noku intsholongwane.
Kuyaphawuleka ukuba akukho monkeypox intsholongwane (MPXV) ngokwayo okanye isifo esibangelwa yiyo sele inikwe amagama amatsha okwangoku.
IKomiti yaMazwe ngaMazwe kwiTaxonomy ye Iintsholongwane (ICTV) inoxanduva lokuthiya amagama intsholongwane iintlobo. Inkqubo ngoku iyaqhubeka nge-ICTV yegama elitsha lemonkeypox intsholongwane.
Ngokufanayo, i-WHO ngoku ibambe uthethwano oluvulekileyo lwegama elitsha lesifo semonkeypox. Ukunika amagama amatsha kwizifo ezikhoyo luxanduva lwe-WHO phantsi kwe-International Classification of Diseases kunye ne-WHO Family of International Health Related Classifications (WHO-FIC).
