Monkeypox virus (MPXV) genomics: A mutational and phylogenomic analyses of B.1 lineages [PDF]
The recent increase in monkeypox (MPX) cases has attracted attention of public health authorities due to its quick spread and transmission across non-endemic regions. This outbreak, unlike previous ones, displays different epidemiological features and transmission dynamics, which appear to be largely influenced by the newly divergent MPX lineages (B.1).

One-Pot RPA-CRISPR/Cas12a Assay With Visual Readout for the Ultra-Specific Detection of Monkeypox Virus Clade I. [PDF]
This study established a rapid RPA‐CRISPR/Cas12a assay for MPXV clade I detection, achieving an LOD95 of 27.16 copies/μL within 40 min. The assay exhibited no cross‐reactivity with MPXV clade II or other orthopoxviruses. Under simulated conditions, the assay detected more low‐concentration plasmid‐spiked samples than quantitative polymerase chain ...

Virtual Screening of Bacteriocins From Lactic Acid Bacteria Against Monkeypox DNA Polymerase: Sakacin P and Mundticin KS Emerge as Promising Candidates. [PDF]
This study employs an in silico virtual screening workflow to evaluate lactic acid bacteria (LAB)‐derived bacteriocins as potential inhibitors of the monkeypox virus DNA polymerase (MPDP). Protein‐peptide docking simulations using the HADDOCK platform revealed that Sakacin P and Mundticin KS possess the highest binding affinities for the MPDP target ...
