For decades, the human niche for viruses related to smallpox has remained mostly empty. Since eradicating smallpox, only rare ...

Mpox is a viral infection caused by a virus that belongs to the same family as smallpox. The virus can cause a painful rash, fever, and swollen glands and, in some cases, lead to more serious illness.

Mpox has the potential to become a significant global health threat if taken too lightly, according to scientists at the University of Surrey.

Mpox could become a serious global health threat if not taken seriously, British scientists have warned. A team of researchers at the University of Surrey said the virus is now showing concerning ...

"If you are looking for the reservoir for mpox virus in Central Africa, that's one of the most biodiverse places on Earth, so where do you start?" Seifert said. "If we can use these machine ...

The Mpox virus is related to the original smallpox virus (Variola major). The EMA's decision to approve Imvanex was based on laboratory data showing that the vaccine offers cross-protection.

Since a wave of infections with the Mpox virus swept around the world in 2022, Germany’s Standing Commission on Vaccination (STIKO) has recommended that people at an elevated risk of Mpox ...

A study by A*STAR Infectious Diseases Labs (A*STAR IDL) and A*STAR Institute of High Performance Computing (A*STAR IHPC) has assessed the airborne transmission risk of mpox compared to SARS-CoV-2 and ...

The live vaccine is produced from the strain Modified Vaccinia Ankara-Bavarian Nordic (MVA-BN), an attenuated, non-replicating orthopoxvirus.

The model, focusing on orthopoxviruses like smallpox and mpox, analyzes host traits and virus genetics to pinpoint potential animal reservoirs and outbreak-prone regions. Southeast Asia ...

Monkeypox is a viral disease caused by the Mpox virus. Even though the natural reservoir of the virus remains unidentified, African rodents and non-human primates like monkey are suspected to ...
