India has confirmed 9 monkey pox (MPXV) cases by the time this editorial is being written. The size of the outbreak clusters is growing each day, as is the geographical spread across international borders. More interestingly it is being recognized as a potent sexually transmitted infection (STI) as it is attributed to close contact with lesions, with no intention of stigmatizing it. This zoonotic virus has a low level of endemicity since decades in west and central Africa, its place of origin. Now since it has spread to 75 countries and more joining, with over 25,539 plus cases, WHO declared it a public health emergency of international concern (PHEIC) on July 23, 2022.

After the global impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, concerns over virus transmission have risen. A state of health emergency was declared in 2022 due to Clade 2 of the monkeypox (MPOX) virus. In August 2024, another emergency was declared by the World Health Organization (WHO) because of the widespread Clade 1b, which caused a more severe and lethal disease.

The Mpox virus (MPXV) has emerged as a formidable orthopoxvirus, posing an immense challenge to global public health. An understanding of the regulatory mechanisms of MPXV infection, replication and immune evasion will benefit the development of novel antiviral strategies. Despite the involvement of G-quadruplexes (G4s) in modulating the infection and replication processes of multiple viruses, their roles in the MPXV life cycle remain largely unknown.

In recent years, human mpox has made multiple resurges, prompting public health professionals to consider factors that lead to the increased risk for the reemergence of other orthopoxviruses. Due to the genetic similarity between orthopoxviruses, vaccinia vaccines used to prevent smallpox transmission are also indicated and have been used for mpox infection prevention and control. In this study, cross-reactive immunity for mpox was observed among individuals with self-reported history of smallpox vaccination.
