Mpox
Mpox (formerly known as Monkey Pox) seems to be spreading amid some serious concerns from, among others the WHO.
There is a thread on the Fediverse, with further discussion on the topic.
Cases now found in Pakistan and one in Sweden, so does appear to be spreading, hence the concern.

Malaria Treatment
Even though we are in a global Covid 19 pandemic, it does not mean other important discoveries are not being made.
The BBC reported on May 4th that a microbe has been found that can block Malaria [1]. This is an important discovery, as the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) article [2] suggests that Malaria killed 405,000 people i 2018.
Discoveries such as this, surely give the world hope that a treatment for Covid-19 will eventually be found. It also highlights the importance of research and proper funding for research.
