Evidence for recent genetic variation in monkeypox viruses.

Abstract excerpt

DNA from isolates of monkeypox virus, when digested with the endonuclease PstI, gave fragment-size profiles which correlated with the geographic area from which the isolate originated. Although some of the differences were located subterminally in the genome, others mapped to the central conserved region. Further differentiation of the viral genomes was sought by analysis of a short region within the central...
