  1. R to @ECDC_EU: First instances of confirmed transmission of #MPXV clade I among close contacts of imported cases within the EU/EEA have been reported by Germany & Belgium.

    ECDC is in contact with public health authorities in these countries regarding this development.

  2. RT by @ECDC_EU: Illustrating the complexity of #mpox outbreaks:

    in their rapid communication @tonywawinab et al. describe co-circulation in Kinshasa of the two distinct #MPXV subclades Ia and Ib between July and August 2024

  3. #Mpox#Africa Region, #WHO D.O.N.: who.int/emergencies/disease-ou

    The clade Ib #MPXV #outbreak, which began in September 2023 in #DRC, is having an increasing number of cases in country & also expanding to neighbouring countries. #Burundi, #Kenya, #Rwanda and #Uganda have each reported their first mpox cases.

  4. Mpox Disease: The Antiviral Tecovirimat (TPOXX) Found Ineffective in Clinical Trial
    The monkeypox virus (MPXV), called so because of its first discovery in monkeys kept in research facility in Denmark, is closely related to variola...........

  5. "The estimated minimum sizes of respiratory particles carrying MPXV, based on reported viral loads in respiratory fluids, are sufficiently small to generate viral aerosols."

  6. #Alerta Epidemiológica #Viruela símica (#MPXV clado I), 8 de agosto del 2024 reliefweb.int/report/world/ale

    ...La Organización Panamericana de la Salud / Organización Mundial de la Salud (OPS/OMS) alienta a los Estados Miembros a que se mantengan vigilantes ante la posibilidad de introducción de esta variante en las Américas, que continúen con sus esfuerzos de vigilancia incluyendo la secuenciación genómica de los casos detectados, con especial énfasis en grupos de mayor riesgo.

  7. #Mpox Caused by #Human-to-Human #Transmission of #MPXV in #DRC with Spread to Neighboring #Countries, #US CDC #HAN #Update: emergency.cdc.gov/han/2024/han

    In late July 24, #Burundi, #Rwanda, & #Uganda reported confirmed cases of mpox, with some cases having linkages to DRC. Rwanda & Uganda have confirmed these cases are due to clade I MPXV; in Burundi, clade-specific testing is underway, but cases are presumed to be clade I due to DRC’s proximity. Mpox is not known to be endemic in these countries.

  8. Wonderful to see this fantastic work on MPXV by @AineOToole @richardneher & a long list of other great scientists. They show #MPXV was circulating in humans undetected for years before the recent outbreak.
    And great reporting from Ian Sample & @TheGuardian

    Great work on #mpox #virus ( #MonkeyPox) from Lisa Bauer, Debby van Riel, & Oliver Harschnitz:

    "We found that MPXV infects and replicates more efficiently in astrocytes and microglia compared to cortical neurons, which unlike glial cells showed activation of distinct antiviral programs that may confer differential susceptibility to #MPXV."

    Interesting report on #Mpox #virus:
    (AKA #MonkeyPox or #MPXV)

    "We monitored SARS-CoV-2 & MPXV genomes in the air... in Madrid nightclubs... in 2022.
    ...
    MPXV in the air had increased considerably on Aug 8, with 57% of positive samples containing more than 100 genomes per [cubic meter]; this date coincided with the peak incidence of mpox in Spain."

    The authors suggest that air sampling might be a useful surveillance method.

  12. Sanchiz et al, 2023: Air sampling at Madrid gay clubs found #monkeypox virus (#MPXV) DNA in sex rooms and bar areas. 57% of 7 samples collected at the peak incidence of #MPX had >100 genomes per meter cubed. Samples were not tested for infectiousness.
