- The study investigates a recent outbreak of monkeypox (mpox) in the Republic of the Congo, which emerged after a notable increase in cases in DR Congo since October 2023.
- Blood, skin, and swabs from suspected mpox cases were collected between January and April 2024, with 31 of 61 samples testing positive for the virus and analyzed using advanced sequencing techniques.
- The phylogenetic analysis revealed two major clusters of monkeypox virus strains, suggesting connections between the current outbreak and earlier sequences from Central Africa, indicating ongoing transmission dynamics in the region.
