Abstract:Mpox is a viral disease caused by the monkey pox virus (MPXV) of the Poxviridae family. It is similar to smallpox and cowpox. Mpox is not categorized as a sexually transmitted infection, however, most transmission in the recent global outbreak has been attributed to be through men who have sex with men (MSM). Agentbased modelling (ABM) is an effective approach to simulate the spread of Mpox because it enables the detailed representation of heterogeneity among individuals or sub-populations, including variation… Show more
