Mpox virus clade evolution and epidemiology in Africa: a systematic review of genetic variability and clinical impact

2026-08-14

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p> <bold>Background:</bold> The Mpox virus (MPXV), formerly known as monkeypox virus, is re-emerging in endemic and non-endemic regions, driven in part by divergent genetic lineages: Clade 1 and Clade 2. <bold>Objective</bold> : This systematic review synthesizes current evidence on the genomic variability of MPXV in Africa and its relationship to clinical severity, transmission dynam...
