England health officials identify newly evolved variant of mpox

news.movim.eu / TheGuardian • 5 days ago - 17:19

Virus caught by person who travelled to Asia combines more severe form of mpox with less virulent type

Health officials have identified a new variant of mpox in England after a person who recently travelled to Asia was tested for the virus.

Genome sequencing showed that the virus was a “recombinant” form containing elements of two types of mpox currently in circulation: the more severe clade 1, and the less virulent clade 2, which sparked the 2022 global mpox outbreak.
