Mpox infection: A state-of-the-art overview of epidemiological, molecular, and clinical aspects following the 2024 public health emergency
Mpox, caused by the monkeypox virus (MPXV), re-emerged as a significant global health issue in 2024, resulting in the declaration of a second Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC). The emergence of Clade Ib in Central Africa, particularly affecting children and immunocompromised individuals, and the ongoing global spread of Clade IIb have raised concerns about increased transmissibility and virulence, potentially driven by accelerated APOBEC3-mediated viral mutations. Novel vaccination strategies include the licensed JYNNEOS and Japan’s LC16 KMB, as well as promising mRNA vaccine candidates currently in clinical trials. Although antiviral therapies, such as tecovirimat, cidofovir, and brincidofovir, remain effective, resistance is emerging among immunocompromised patients. Enhanced diagnostics, including WHO-approved rapid molecular tests, along with preventive strategies such as zoonotic risk reduction and equitable vaccine distribution, are critical. Continued genomic monitoring, enhanced global surveillance and interdisciplinary collaboration are essential to prevent future outbreaks and strengthen global preparedness.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Infection and Public Health, first official journal of the Saudi Arabian Ministry of National Guard Health Affairs, King Saud Bin Abdulaziz University for Health Sciences and the Saudi Association for Public Health, aims to be the foremost scientific, peer-reviewed journal encompassing infection prevention and control, microbiology, infectious diseases, public health and the application of healthcare epidemiology to the evaluation of health outcomes. The point of view of the journal is that infection and public health are closely intertwined and that advances in one area will have positive consequences on the other.
The journal will be useful to all health professionals who are partners in the management of patients with communicable diseases, keeping them up to date. The journal is proud to have an international and diverse editorial board that will assist and facilitate the publication of articles that reflect a global view on infection control and public health, as well as emphasizing our focus on supporting the needs of public health practitioners.
It is our aim to improve healthcare by reducing risk of infection and related adverse outcomes by critical review, selection, and dissemination of new and relevant information in the field of infection control, public health and infectious diseases in all healthcare settings and the community.
