Abstract The Monkeypox virus is the etiological cause of a recent multi-country outbreak, with nearly one hundred distinct cases detected outside endemic areas Africa in May 2022. In this article, we analyze sequences two full genomes from Portugal and Belgium, compare them all available sequences, annotated by year geographic origin, as well related Cowpox Variola (smallpox) sequences. Our results show that outbreak most likely originating West African clade Monkeypox, >99% sequence...
The Mpox (formerly named Monkeypox) virus is the etiological cause of a recent multi-country outbreak, with thousands distinct cases detected outside endemic areas Africa as December 2023. In this article, we analyze sequences full genomes from Europe and compare them all available historical relevance, annotated by year geographic origin, well related Cowpox Variola (smallpox) sequences. Our results show that outbreak most likely originating West African clade Mpox, >99 % sequence identity...
