Abstract excerpt
Mpox virus (MPXV) is a zoonotic Orthopoxvirus that has recently gained attention due to outbreaks. In the presence of these constantly changing global health threats, genomic surveillance of the MPXV is no longer a choice but a necessity. The MPXV has diversified through mutation and adaptation, giving rise to distinct clades. In this study, the Nextclade tool was used to identify amino acid substitutions in...
