When scientists investigate the spread of an infectious disease, one area they look at is the genetic sequences of the pathogen. But there’s a snag when it comes to the monkeypox virus, which is now ...
A study published in Nature Medicine found that monkeypox viruses from the current outbreak have on average 50 differences in their DNA compared to the versions from about four years earlier. That’s ...
"Mutations in the monkeypox virus replication complex: Potential contributing factors to the 2022 outbreak" was recently published in Journal of Autoimmunity. Co-authors on the study include Shrikesh ...
Southampton Community Healthcare workers distribute monkeypox vaccines at Tower Grove Pride in September. New research shows monkeypox mutations could make vaccines and treatments less effective.
In a recent study published in Viruses, researchers used whole genome sequencing to evaluate monkeypox virus samples from Washington and Ohio in the United States and identified 25 samples with open ...
