Genomic analysis of mpox virus genomes reveal multiple lineages with human-to-human transmissibility

Researchers from Nigeria and the United Kingdom (U.K.) analyzed mpox virus genomes and found that divergent lineages of the mpox virus exhibiting human-to-human transmission existed in the Nigerian population before the 2022 spread of the virus outside of the endemic regions.

help prepare them to be the ones who actually do that verification of these negative covid tests. >> josh lederman live on the white house north lawn, thank you for that reporting. dr. gupta, let me go to you here. is this the right call by the administration? >> absolutely. this is proactive. as josh has already said, this is meant to slow transmission, not eliminate it. we're dealing with variants here in the united states, xvp being the newest incarnation. this isn't about eliminating new variants of concern, but about having surveillance, about knowing what we're dealing with so we can potentially buy time to understand if a variant of concern is originating out of the chinese main land or hong kong, that we would be able to see whether or not that variant is susceptible to the vaccine treatments we have. this is about building in intelligence surveillance where it doesn't exist because the chinese are not sharing the genomic data to the global
