Renaming of "monkeypox" to "mpox"

In light of the recent decision by the World Health Organisation (WHO) to change the name of "monkeypox" to "mpox", we are starting the process to change our reporting of the disease from “monkeypox” to “mpox”. We will eventually phase out the former term and replace it with "mpox".
