Efficient assembly of a large fragment of monkeypox virus genome as a qPCR template using dual-selection based transformation-associated recombination

A review on insights and lessons from COVID-19 to the prevent of monkeypox pandemic

“…Today, zoonotic viruses are the most serious threat to global health and cause outbreaks of emerging infectious diseases (EIDs) [ 1 ]. Human monkeypox (MPX) is one of the zoonotic infections that caused by monkeypox virus (MPXV) which has a large and double-stranded DNA [ 2 ]. MPXV is typically a self-limiting disease, that symptoms lasting 2–4 weeks.…”

Scientists’ interest in monkeypox may help countries worldwide

“…10 , 11 With support of the National Science and Technology Major Project for Communicable Diseases, a polymerase chain reaction detection method for monkeypox virus was developed by scientists from the Wuhan Institute of Virology, Chinese Academy of Sciences. 12 In March 2017, the China–Sierra Leone Friendship Biological Safety Laboratory of the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention established a monkeypox virus detection method in Sierra Leone and helped the government of that country in detection of a monkeypox outbreak. This stock of knowledge and technology will be very useful in helping governments worldwide to respond to the global threat of monkeypox virus in 2022 and beyond.…”
