Evolution of number of cases per clade.
For 2000–2019, the numbers for the Central African clade are based largely on suspected cases, per the reporting system by the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

Median age and range of confirmed, probable and/or possible monkeypox cases in Africa per decade.
Blue bars without range refer to the age of a single case. The grey horizontal line represents the weighted median. No data on median ages could be retrieved for the 1990s.
