Description of mpox reinfection by whole genome sequencing
Mpox was recognized as a public health emergency of international concern after a multi-country outbreak was identified in May 2022. The efficacy of the attenuated vaccinia virus vaccine in preventing mpox is not well established, and robust data are not yet available regarding the durability of cross-immunity after natural mpox infection, as a low proportion of mpox-neutralizing antibodies have been detected in individuals with past mpox [1,2].
