Mpox
The resurgence of the monkeypox virus (MPXV) in non-endemic countries has raised concerns about its potential to become a global health threat. Research published in Frontiers in Public Health highlights the complexities of MPXV's epidemiology, clinical features, and transmission mechanisms. The study points to waning Orthopoxvirus immunity, inequitable
Medical research
A new report from Zhejiang Shuren University outlines the etiological characteristics, epidemic situation, and vaccine prevention efforts for monkeypox. The research notes that the disease, caused by the monkeypox virus (MPXV), has spread rapidly across the globe, with 117,663 confirmed cases and 263 deaths reported across 127 Member States
Medical research
A recent study on monkeypox has identified the need for swift preventive techniques to address the rapid prevalence and geographical spread of the disease. Conducted by researchers from Near East University, the study analyzed three globally recommended monkeypox vaccines, LC16m8, ACAM2000, and JYNNEOS, to assess their safety and effectiveness in
Mpox
Mpox, an illness caused by the monkeypox virus, can spread from animals to humans and between people, resulting in flu-like symptoms, an itchy rash, and in severe cases, serious illness or even death. The symptoms of mpox typically begin within 21 days of exposure and may include swollen lymph nodes,
Medical research
New research published in the journal Infectious Diseases and Herbal Medicine has shed light on the complexities of the monkeypox virus, a zoonotic orthopox DNA virus related to the smallpox virus. The study, conducted at Sikkim Manipal University (SMU), highlights the need for urgent attention to prevent the spread of
Eli Lilly and Co.
Scientists at the National Institute for Infectious Diseases in Rome, Italy have published a new study on the immune response of monkeypox virus (MPXV) in individuals who have recovered from the disease. The research team aimed to investigate the T-cell-specific response to MPXV in cured subjects using a whole blood
Diseases
Monkeypox is a viral infection caused by the monkeypox virus, which presents with a range of symptoms, including fever, headache, muscle aches, swollen lymph nodes, and a characteristic rash that eventually develops into pus-filled blisters. The disease can be transmitted through contact with infected animals or close contact with an
European Union
As the mpox virus, formerly known as monkeypox, continues to spread rapidly in Central Africa, the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) has raised its alert level, recommending that European Union member states take precautions against a new variant spreading from the continent. The declaration comes after the

Diseases
A recent increase in globally reported cases of monkeypox (mpox) has been detected, making it a public health emergency of international concern. The virus, which is endemic to Central and West Africa, was initially thought to be spread primarily through animal contact, but recent outbreaks have highlighted the potential for
Disease eradication
The recent re-emergence of monkeypox has sparked concerns about global health. According to a new study published in the International Journal of Surgery: Global Health, the eradication of smallpox in 1980 and the subsequent discontinuation of smallpox vaccination have led to a decline in immunity against orthopoxviruses, making monkeypox a
