“Controlling the further spread of outbreak requires intense response efforts,” and the situation should be reevaluated in a few weeks, the WHO committee evaluating the outbreakThe declaration of a public health emergency would have potentially made it easier to get treatments and vaccines to people infected with or exposed to the virus.
A genetic analysis of monkeypox viruses involved in the global outbreak from 15 people across seven countries shows that these viruses. That’s roughly six to 12 times as many mutations as scientists would have expected the virus to develop over that time. Unlike some other types of viruses, poxviruses, which include smallpox and monkeypox viruses, typically mutate fairly slowly.
A big question, though, is whether the genetic tweaks seen in the monkeypox virus are helpful, harmful or have no effect at all on the virus. It is not clear whether those differences in symptoms are related to changes in the virus, Inger Damon, director of the CDC’s Division of High-Consequence Pathogens and Pathology, said June 21 in ahosted by SciLine, a service for journalists and scientists sponsored by the American Association for the Advancement of Science.
