This provides a comprehensive overview of the Mpox Outbreak Analysis for Africa, covering data through August 2023. This README provides a comprehensive overview of the **Mpox Outbreak Analysis for Africa**, covering data through August 2023[cite: 22, 91]. This analysis was developed to track epidemiological trends, resource deployment, and the effectiveness of containment measures across the continent. --- ## ## Project Overview The primary goal of this visualization is to monitor the spread of Mpox in various African regions and evaluate the public health response, specifically focusing on vaccination coverage and surveillance infrastructure[cite: 1, 13, 106]. ### ### Key Metrics Tracked * **Total Confirmed Cases**: 175,688 [cite: 158, 175] * **Total Deaths**: 5,836 [cite: 126, 176] * **Mortality Trends**: Tracking the surge in deaths over time [cite: 61] * **Resource Allocation**: Deployment of Community Health Workers (CHWs) and Vaccine Doses [cite: 37, 93, 95] --- ## ## Visualizations & Insights ### ### 1. Epidemiological Trends The analysis compares **Confirmed vs. Suspected Cases** to highlight the testing gap in different regions[cite: 13]. * **Clade Distribution**: Clade I accounts for the majority of confirmed cases (**48.47%**) and total deaths (**45.94%**)[cite: 92, 107, 109, 180]. * **Top 3 Countries by Death**: Burundi, Sierra Leone, and Uganda have recorded the highest mortality rates in this dataset[cite: 10, 11, 12, 21]. ### ### 2. Resource Deployment & Response A critical part of the dashboard evaluates how well resources are being utilized to combat the outbreak. * **Vaccine Deployment**: Countries like **South Africa, Togo, and Nigeria** show high vaccine dose deployment relative to their confirmed case counts[cite: 93, 130, 131, 141, 142]. * **Surveillance Infrastructure**: Mozambique leads in the number of **Active Surveillance Sites**, followed closely by Sudan and Togo[cite: 106, 123, 124, 159, 160]. * **Laboratory Capacity**: The **Top 5 Testing Laboratories** are concentrated in South Africa, Nigeria, DR Congo, Ethiopia, and Kenya[cite: 2 …
