Abstract

Monkeypox (mpox) is a zoonotic disease caused by the mpox virus (MPXV) that has been primarily limited to Central and West African nations since its discovery. The recent spread of the West African lineage of MPXV in historically unaffected countries has raised concerns for global public health. Despite a significant decrease in global mpox cases, there is still a risk of a global resurgence. This study reports the first local case of mpox caused by an imported case in the Chinese mainland. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) diagnosed the two cases, and the viral genomes were obtained by next-generation sequencing. Genomic analysis revealed that the two strains shared an identical genome sequence and belonged to the B.1.3 branch of the West African lineage, which is the first local case of mpox caused by an imported case in the Chinese mainland, highlighting the potential threat of mpox in China and the immediate need for adequate surveillance measures.

中国大陆首例输入性病例引起的猴痘本土病例

猴痘是由猴痘病毒(MPXV)引起的一种人畜共患疾病，自发现以来主要局限于中非和西非国家。最近西非MPXV谱系在历史上未受影响的国家传播，引起了对全球公共卫生的关注。尽管全球麻疹病例显著减少，但仍有在全球卷土重来的风险。本研究报告了中国大陆首例由输入性病例引起的本地麻疹病例。聚合酶链反应(PCR)诊断了这两例病例，并通过新一代测序获得了病毒基因组。基因组分析显示，这两株毒株具有相同的基因组序列，属于西非毒株B.1.3分支，这是中国大陆首例由输入性病例引起的本地m痘病例，突出了中国m痘的潜在威胁和立即采取适当监测措施的必要性。
