African scientists baffled by monkeypox cases in Europe, USBy MARIA CHENGAP Medical WriterThe Associated PressLONDON

LONDON (AP) � Scientists who have monitored numerous outbreaks of monkeypox in Africa say they are baffled by the disease�s recent spread in Europe and North America.

Cases of the smallpox-related disease have previously been seen only among people with links to central and West Africa. But in the past week, Britain, Spain, Portugal, Italy, U.S., Sweden and Canada all reported infections, mostly in young men who hadn�t previously traveled to Africa.

There are about 80 confirmed cases worldwide and 50 more suspected ones, the World Health Organization said. France, Germany, Belgium and Australia reported their first cases Friday.

�I�m stunned by this. Every day I wake up and there are more countries infected,� said Oyewale Tomori, a virologist who formerly headed the Nigerian Academy of Science and who sits on several WHO advisory boards.

�This is not the kind of spread we�ve seen in West Africa, so there may be something new happening in the West,� he said.

Nigeria reports about 3,000 monkeypox cases a year, WHO said. Outbreaks are usually in rural areas, when people have close contact with infected rats and squirrels, Tomori said. He said many cases are likely missed.

Dr. Ifedayo Adetifa, head of the country�s Center for Disease Control, said none of the Nigerian contacts of the British patients have developed symptoms and that investigations were ongoing.

WHO�s Europe director, Dr. Hans Kluge, described the outbreak as �atypical,� saying the disease�s appearance in so many countries across the continent suggested that �transmission has been ongoing for some time.� He said most of the European cases are mild.

After the arrest of NSE former managing director and chief executive Chitra Ramakrishna and former COO and advisor to MD Anand Subramanian, the agency has directed its attention to the brokers and traders allegedly involved in the case, said people aware of the matter.

Searches were carried out at 10 locations linked to brokerage firms and trading houses in Mumbai, Gurgaon, Gandhinagar, Kolkata and Delhi, they said. These included Delhi-based brokerage OPG Securities, which has been named in the agency's first information report (FIR). "The questioning of these brokers and traders is important to understand if a level playing field was offered to everyone at the bourse or was the facility extended only to a few for any consideration or bribe to former NSE officials under scanner or their associates," said one of those cited above.
