Squirrel reservoirs of monkeypox virus are sister species separated by the Sanaga River (Cameroon), as are the two main viral clades

30 Jul 2025

Abstract excerpt

Monkeypox is an emerging infectious disease of unclear zoonotic origin in Africa although increasing evidence suggests that rope squirrels are reservoirs of the monkeypox virus (MPXV). Here, we describe new data on the systematics of rope squirrels (Sciuridae, Funisciurus ). Our molecular phylogeny strongly supports the polyphyly of Funisciurus pyrropus , with a Central African clade sister to Funisciurus...
