Epidemiology and Phylogenomic Characterization of Distinct 2023 and 2024 Mpox outbreaks in Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of the Congo - Evidence for increasingly sustained human-to-human transmission of subclade Ia

2024-11-16

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> <h4>Background</h4> Monkeypox virus (MPXV) is endemic to the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), and historically has been reported in rural, forested regions with limited household and primarily zoonotic transmission. With the emergence of subclade Ib and increasing reported human-to-human transmission of MPXV we sought to characterize both the epidemiologic and genomic characteristics of...
