Ngokunjalo, isigaba sangaphambilini sase-Congo Basin (I-Afrika Ephakathi) siyokwaziwa ngokuthi yi-Clade one(I) kanti esangaphambili saseNtshonalanga Afrika sizobizwa ngokuthi i-Clade two (II). Ngaphezu kwalokho, i-Clade II iqukethe izigatshana ezimbili u-Clade IIa kanye no-Clade IIb.
UClade IIb ubhekisela ikakhulukazi eqenjini le okuhlukile isakaza kakhulu ekuqubukeni komhlaba wonke kwango-2022.
Ukuqanjwa kwamagama kuzokwenziwa ngendlela okuhlongozwe ngayo njengoba ukuqubuka kukhula.
Umqondo wenqubomgomo entsha yokuqamba amagama ukugwema ukucwaswa.

Womabili amagama awasho lutho kubantu, izindawo noma izilwane ezihlobene nalokhu igciwane.
Kuyaphawuleka ukuthi akukho monkeypox igciwane (MPXV) uqobo noma isifo esidalwa yiso sesinikezwe amagama amasha okwamanje.
IKomidi Lamazwe Ngamazwe Nge-Taxonomy ye Amagciwane (ICTV) inesibopho sokuqamba amagama igciwane izinhlobo. Kumanje kusaqhubeka inqubo nge-ICTV yegama elisha lenkawu igciwane.
