Phylogenetic and Ecologic Perspectives of a Monkeypox Outbreak, Southern Sudan, 2005

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2013
Identification of human monkeypox cases during 2005 in southern Sudan (now South Sudan) raised several questions about the natural history of monkeypox virus (MPXV) in Africa. The outbreak area, characterized by seasonally dry riverine grasslands, is not

Monkeypox Virus (MPXV) Transmission Dynamics in Neighboring Countries as a Potential Threat to Kazakhstan

Viruses
The global outbreak of monkeypox virus (MPXV) demonstrated qualitatively new epidemiological characteristics of the infection, significantly different from previous outbreaks, mainly limited to the regions of Central and West Africa. The scale and speed of the spread of the virus necessitated a revision of existing ideas about the transmission routes ...

Ulcerative Pathogens Among Suspected Monkeypox Virus (MPXV) Patients: A Cross Sectional Study

Actas Dermo-Sifiliográficas
MPXV suspected lesions were tested to other ulcerative pathogens in order to detect coinfections and establish an adequate diagnosis. Descriptive retrospective cross-sectional study taken at Centro Sanitario Sandoval, Madrid. Six hundred twenty ulcerative samples were tested by PCR for the main sexually transmitted pathogens including MPXV.

Mpox Airborne Transmission: A Systematic Review

Reviews in Medical Virology, Volume 36, Issue 5, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Since May 2022, mpox has been reported across multiple nonendemic regions, with concurrent outbreaks in diverse geographic settings, raising concerns about broader international spread. However, evidence regarding the risk of airborne transmission remains limited.

One‐Pot RPA‐CRISPR/Cas12a Assay With Visual Readout for the Ultra‐Specific Detection of Monkeypox Virus Clade I

Microbial Biotechnology, Volume 19, Issue 9, September 2026.
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 ...

Immunoinformatics-based strategies for developing DNA and mRNA vaccines against monkeypox virus (MPXV)

Virology Journal
The monkeypox virus (MPXV) is a newly discovered zoonotic orthopoxvirus that can infect humans and shares similarities with the smallpox virus. With no clinically validated treatment for MPXV infections, it is important to develop a broad-range vaccine that is effective against this disease.
