#Epidemiology and phylogenomic characterisation of two distinct #mpox #outbreaks in #Kinshasa, #DRC, involving a new #subclade Ia lineage: a retrospective, observational study, https://etidiohnew.blogspot.com/2025/07/epidemiology-and-phylogenomic.html
Presumed #Transmission of 2 Distinct #MPOXV #Variants from Central African Republic to #DRC, Emerg Infect Dis.: https://wwwnc.cdc.gov/eid/article/30/10/24-1118_article?ACSTrackingID=USCDC_333-DM135303&ACSTrackingLabel=Latest%20Expedited%20Articles%20-%20Emerging%20Infectious%20Diseases%20Journal%20-%20August%2029%2C%202024&deliveryName=USCDC_333-DM135303
We linked 4 mpox cases in South Ubangi, DRC, to transboundary transmission from Central African Republic. Viral genome sequencing demonstrated that mpoxv #sequences belonged to distinct #clusters of #subclade Ia. This finding demonstrates borderless nature of mpox & highlights need for vigilant regional #surveillance.
