Mashup Score: 30Preliminary analysis of 98 genomic sequences of MPXV clade Ib cases from Burundi, July to September 2024 - 20 hour(s) ago
Preliminary analysis of 98 genomic sequences of MPXV clade Ib cases from Burundi, July to September 2024 Introduction A large mpox clade Ib virus outbreak started in the province of South Kivu in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) and is rapidly geographically expanding to other areas within the DRC as well as to other countries surrounding the DRC. Especially Burundi is severely affected with close to 1531 confirmed cases of mpox Clade Ib virus infections since the first detection at …

Mashup Score: 12Clade Ib Mpox in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC): clinical and virological report of the first case in Kinshasa, the capital city - 3 month(s) ago
Since 2005, there have been eight public health emergency of international concern (PHEIC) declarations. The tow last are related to mpox outbreaks, the first one from 2022-2023with clade IIb that spread globally in more than 100 countries and more recently since 14th august 2024 an outbreak with clade Ib (WHO, 2024). The current declaration followed the declaration of a Public Health Emergency of Continental Security (PHECS) by Africa CDC on August 13th and both were consecutive to the concerni…

Mashup Score: 29Preliminary analysis of full genome sequences of 58 MPXV clade Ib cases from Kamituga and Kamanyola, South-Kivu , DRC - 4 month(s) ago
Preliminary analysis of full genome sequences of 58 MPXV clade Ib cases from Kamituga and Kamanyola, South-Kivu , DRC Recently, we showed that the MPXV outbreak in South Kivu is associated with a novel sub- lineage of clade I viruses (Murhula Masirika et al, 2024). The majority of these cases seem to be transmitted through heterosexual contact, with also person-to-person transmission within and outside the households. Here we provide an update of the ongoing sequencing effort. We sequenced MPX…

Mashup Score: 156Mpox virus resurgence in New York City, 2024 - 5 month(s) ago
New York City (NYC) experienced a large mpox outbreak in 2022, with 3821 cases. Case counts remained low through most of 2023 at only 184 cases, a mean of 3.5 cases per week. However, incidence increased in 2024, with 191 cases as of 4 May 2024, a mean of 10.6 cases per week. To investigate the evolutionary dynamics underlying this increase in case count, we performed phylogenetic and phylodynamic analysis of the 81 mpox virus (MPXV) genomes sampled in 2023 and 2024 in NYC, sequenced by the NYC …

resurgence of clade II mpox in the US. A perfectly preventable disease, that emerged globally in 2022 and despite its relatively low transmissibility was not stopped. This is how prepared we are people. https://t.co/csuyWZ7QJk
