Abstract

A piloted approach to mpox genomic surveillance began in King County, Washington, USA, during the 2022 outbreak. Genomic surveillance proved critical in determining likely international exposure of a case where no known exposures could be identified by interview, illustrating the value of genomics in case investigation and public health practice.
