Abstract excerpt
The ongoing outbreak of monkeypox virus (hMPXV1) is the largest recorded in historically nonendemic countries. Genomic surveillance has emerged as a pivotal tool to track the spread and monitor the evolution of viral pathogens. Therefore, to assess the genetic diversity of circulating hMPXV1 in northern Italy in June to July 2022, we sequenced and analyzed five complete genomes of viruses sampled from patients...
