# OWID Mpox — global daily compiled
Compiled by OWID from WHO situation reports + national bulletins. 2022 outbreak
onwards. Per-million columns are dropped — recoverable from kept absolute counts +
a population join.
**Source:** <https://github.com/owid/monkeypox>
## Coverage
- **Time:** 2022-05-01 → 2026-03-31
- **Cadence:** `daily` (observed median spacing: 1 days)
- **Geography levels:** `global`, `national` — 143 unique location IDs
- **Countries:** multiple
- **Pathogens:** `mpox`
- **Surveillance category:** `notifiable`
- **Rows:** 153,975
## Columns
| Column | Unit | value_type | Aggregation | Description |
|--------|------|------------|-------------|-------------|
| `new_cases` | cases/day | `incident` | `sum` | New confirmed mpox cases per day per country (OWID compilation) |
| `new_deaths` | deaths/day | `incident` | `sum` | New confirmed mpox deaths per day |
| `total_cases` | cases (cumulative) | `cumulative` | `max` | Cumulative confirmed mpox cases since 2022 outbreak start |
| `total_deaths` | deaths (cumulative) | `cumulative` | `max` | Cumulative confirmed mpox deaths |
### Additional data columns
- **`location_name`** — OWID's English country / aggregate name. `location_id` is canonical.
## Interpretation caveats
Things that may differ from how other sources define a similar measure. If you're combining this dataset with another, read these first.
- **`new_cases`** — Many countries publish weekly bulletins; OWID assigns each report to a single
day, so day-of-week effects are artefactual. Smooth before any analytical use.
## Access
- **Availability:** `open`
- **Access type:** `github`
- **License:** cc-by-4.0
- **Tier:** 3
