TL;DR: This investigation documents the isolation and identification of monkeypox virus from humans in the Western Hemisphere and suggests that the prairie dogs had been exposed to at least one species of rodent recently imported into the United States from West Africa.
Journal ArticleDOI
A tale of two clades: monkeypox viruses.

TL;DR: Analysis of clinical, laboratory and epidemiological features of confirmed human monkeypox case-patients, using data from outbreaks in the USA and the Congo Basin, and the results suggested that human disease pathogenicity was associated with the viral strain.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The results suggest endemicity of monkeypox virus in Nigeria, with some evidence of human-to-human transmission, and further studies are necessary to explore animal reservoirs and risk factors for transmission of the virus.
Journal ArticleDOI
Real-time PCR assays for the specific detection of monkeypox virus West African and Congo Basin strain DNA.
TL;DR: Three new real-time PCR assays based on TaqMan probe technology were reported, showing good specificity and sensitivity and will improve the rapid detection and differentiation of monkeypox infections from other rash illness.
Journal ArticleDOI
Detection of monkeypox virus with real-time PCR assays
TL;DR: E9L-NVAR and B6R assays demonstrate 100% specificity for non-variola Eurasian orthopoxvirus and MPXV, respectively, and provide a reliable and sensitive method for quickly confirming monkeypox infections.
