Neue Studie zeigt: Das Affenpockenvirus (MPXV) kann neuronale Zellen in Hirnorganoiden infizieren und deren Tod verursachen: https://mediarelations.unibe.ch/medienmitteilungen/2025/medienmitteilungen_2025/kann_das_affenpockenvirus_das_menschliche_gehirn_infizieren/index_ger.html.

Diese bisher unerforschten Aspekte von #MPXV hat ein Forschungsteam des #IVI, #unibern, #CHUV und des #Bundeslabor Spiez entdeckt.

R to @ECDC_EU: First instances of confirmed transmission of #MPXV clade I among close contacts of imported cases within the EU/EEA have been reported by Germany & Belgium.

ECDC is in contact with public health authorities in these countries regarding this development.

#Mpox – #Africa Region, #WHO D.O.N.: https://www.who.int/emergencies/disease-outbreak-news/item/2024-DON528

The clade Ib #MPXV #outbreak, which began in September 2023 in #DRC, is having an increasing number of cases in country & also expanding to neighbouring countries. #Burundi, #Kenya, #Rwanda and #Uganda have each reported their first mpox cases.

Mpox Disease: The Antiviral Tecovirimat (TPOXX) Found Ineffective in Clinical Trial
The monkeypox virus (MPXV), called so because of its first discovery in monkeys kept in research facility in Denmark, is closely related to variola...........

"The estimated minimum sizes of respiratory particles carrying MPXV, based on reported viral loads in respiratory fluids, are sufficiently small to generate viral aerosols."

...La Organización Panamericana de la Salud / Organización Mundial de la Salud (OPS/OMS) alienta a los Estados Miembros a que se mantengan vigilantes ante la posibilidad de introducción de esta variante en las Américas, que continúen con sus esfuerzos de vigilancia incluyendo la secuenciación genómica de los casos detectados, con especial énfasis en grupos de mayor riesgo.

#Mpox Caused by #Human-to-Human #Transmission of #MPXV in #DRC with Spread to Neighboring #Countries, #US CDC #HAN #Update: https://emergency.cdc.gov/han/2024/han00513.asp?ACSTrackingID=USCDC_511-DM133680&ACSTrackingLabel=HAN%20513%20-%20General%20Public&deliveryName=USCDC_511-DM133680

In late July 24, #Burundi, #Rwanda, & #Uganda reported confirmed cases of mpox, with some cases having linkages to DRC. Rwanda & Uganda have confirmed these cases are due to clade I MPXV; in Burundi, clade-specific testing is underway, but cases are presumed to be clade I due to DRC’s proximity. Mpox is not known to be endemic in these countries.
