Monkeypox Virus in Nigeria: Infection Biology, Epidemiology, and Evolution [PDF]

open access: yesViruses, 2020
Monkeypox is a zoonotic disease caused by monkeypox virus (MPXV), which is a member of orthopoxvirus genus. The reemergence of MPXV in 2017 (at Bayelsa state) after 39 years of no reported case in Nigeria, and the export of travelers’ monkeypox (MPX ...

A Customized Monkeypox Virus Genomic Database (MPXV DB v1.0) for Rapid Sequence Analysis and Phylogenomic Discoveries in CLC Microbial Genomics

open access: yesViruses, 2022
Monkeypox has been a neglected, zoonotic tropical disease for over 50 years. Since the 2022 global outbreak, hundreds of human clinical samples have been subjected to next-generation sequencing (NGS) worldwide with raw data deposited in public repositories. However, sequence analysis for in-depth investigation of viral evolution remains hindered by the

Dose-dependent pathogenicity and inflammatory imbalance in severely immunodeficient mice infected with mpox virus. [PDF]

open access: yesAnimal Model Exp Med
This study establishes an NPG (NOD.Cg‐Prkdcscid Il2rgtm1/Vst) mouse model for severe monkeypox virus infection in immunocompromised hosts, demonstrating dose‐dependent disease severity and revealing that unbalanced pro‐inflammatory cytokine release drives pathogenesis, providing insights for therapeutic interventions. Abstract The global spread of mpox

A comprehensive review of monkeypox virus and mpox characteristics [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology
Monkeypox virus (MPXV) is the etiological agent of monkeypox (mpox), a zoonotic disease. MPXV is endemic in the forested regions of West and Central Africa, but the virus has recently spread globally, causing outbreaks in multiple non-endemic countries ...

Monkeypox virus (MPXV) isolation from longitudinal samples of 11 patients to infer risk of onwards transmission

open access: yesInternational Journal of Infectious Diseases
Introduction: Monkeypox virus (MPXV), a DNA virus in the genus Orthopoxvirus, causes the clinical disease mpox. Human-to-human transmission occurs, primarily through contact with infectious lesions. The cycle threshold (Ct) value at which mpox virus can be isolated varies in the literature.

Proteomics-based vaccine targets annotation and design of subunit and mRNA-based vaccines for Monkeypox virus (MPXV) against the recent outbreak. [PDF]

open access: yesComput Biol Med, 2023
Monkeypox Virus (MPXV) is a growing public health threat with increasing cases and fatalities globally. To date, no specific vaccine or small molecule therapeutic choices are available for the treatment of MPXV disease. In this work, we employed proteomics and structural vaccinology approaches to design mRNA and multi-epitopes-based vaccines (MVC ...
