Monkeypox Virus Subverts the Inflammatory Response of Macrophages at the Maternal‐Fetal Interface
Journal of Medical Virology, Volume 97, Issue 5, May 2025.ABSTRACT Monkeypox is a viral zoonosis caused by the monkeypox virus (MPXV). Although the virus was identified decades ago, human immunity to MPXV infection has not been widely characterized. During MPXV infection, macrophages are recruited at the site of infection and are thought to contribute to the spread of the virus.
