The Evolutionary Dynamics and Regional Spread of Mpox in Africa: Insights from Multi-country Genomic Surveillance
2026-04-11
Abstract excerpt
The recent MPXV epidemic across Africa revealed extensive viral diversity and complex transmission dynamics, prompting a continent-wide genomic investigation. We analysed 3,450 high-quality MPXV virus whole genomes from 24 African Union Member States, revealing the complex and concurrent circulation of Sub-clades Ia, Ib, IIa, and IIb. Subclade Ia showed high levels of virus diversity in reservoir hosts in Central...
