Monkeypox, a fast-spreading viral zoonosis outside of Africa in May 2022, has put scientists on alert. We estimated the reproduction number to be 1.39 (95% CrI: 1.37, 1.42) by aggregating all cases in 70 countries as of 22 July 2022.
Monkeypox, a fast-spreading viral zoonosis outside of Africa in May 2022, has scientists on alert. We estimated the reproduction number is estimated to be 1.29 (95% CrI: 1.26, 1.33) by aggregating all cases in 70 countries as of July 22, 2022.
We analysed the effectiveness of various non-pharmaceutical interventions in containing the 2022 Omicron outbreak in China. The results show that the Rapid Antigen Test contributed to containing the outbreak, reducing the reproduction number by 0.788 (95% CI:-0.306, 1.880) in studied cities.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
