There have been 780 confirmed cases of monkeypox in countries where the virus is not usually found, the World Health Organization says.
That is roughly triple the 257 cases it reported a week ago.
It says the figure - for the past three weeks - is probably an underestimate and assesses the global risk level as "moderate".
The infection is usually mild, but this is the first time it has spread widely outside Central and West Africa.
The WHO said cases had been identified in 27 countries where it is not already "endemic" - meaning places it is expected to be found.
Most of these new cases are in Europe and North America as well as small numbers in Mexico, Argentina, Morocco and the United Arab Emirates.
