Multi-country outbreak of monkeypox virus: phylogenomic characterization and signs of microevolution
2022-05-31
Abstract excerpt
<title>Abstract</title> <p>The largest monkeypox virus (MPXV) outbreak described so far in non-endemic countries was identified in May 2022. Here, shotgun metagenomics allowed the rapid reconstruction and phylogenomic characterization of the first genome sequences of the MPXV outbreak variant. We observed that this MPXV belongs to the West African clade and that the ongoing outbreak most likely has a single origi...
