Predicted failure of common Mpox PCR testing on a recent DRC clade I variant: Persistent genomic surveillance is critically important for accurate diagnostics
2024-07-23
Abstract excerpt
Pathogens can rapidly evolve to evade detection via existing diagnostic testing capabilities, creating blind spots for health care and security systems. Persistent genomic surveillance of pathogens can help identify and address these gaps. Here, we present a case study of a new lineage of Monkeypox virus Clade I that emerged during an outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, in which a genomic deletion al...
