Emergence of monkeypox virus in central Argentina: Epidemiological features and first complete genome sequences in the country
Monkeypox (Mpox) is a zoonotic disease caused by the monkeypox virus (MPXV). MPXV can be transmitted by close contact with lesions, body fluids, respiratory droplets, and contaminated materials. A new pattern of spread among sexual networks has been recently described. The present work aimed to report the epidemiological and genomic characterization of the 2022 MPXV outbreak in central Argentina. A total of 113 scabs and/or lesion swab specimens were studied. MPXV infection was confirmed in 46.0% of the studied patients, all of whom were men. Varicella-zoster virus infection was the most frequent differential diagnosis. Eight complete viral genomes were obtained by next-generation sequencing. The Argentinian sequences were grouped intermingled with other sequences from the 2022 MPXV outbreak, related to samples from the USA, Europe, and Peru. Taken together, our study provided an initial assessment of the genetic and epidemiological characteristics of the 2022 MPXV outbreak in Córdoba, Argentina.
期刊介绍：
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
