Surface sampling for mpox virus in multiple healthcare settings in Sierra Leone, June 2025

2025-09-18

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> <h4>Background</h4> As mpox virus (MPXV) has continued to expand geographically, critical knowledge gaps in environmental persistence in resource-limited healthcare settings remain. Despite evidence of fomite-mediated transmission, no empirical data exist on surface contamination in West African hospitals during active mpox outbreaks. <h4>Methods</h4> In this cross-sectional study, we conducte...
