THE lethal mpox virus that has spread to Europe is mutating into new strains faster than expected, scientists say.It only received global attention when the clade 2 version of the virus spread internationally to over 100 countries in 2022.
More recently, the clade 1b virus has been spotted in several other African countries, as well as Asia and Europe - Thailand and“I worry that in Africa, we are working blindly,” said Dr Dimie Ogoina, an infectious diseases expert at Niger Delta University Hospital in Nigeria, told The expert said it took the clade 2 virus five years to evolve into something that could spread well in humans.Recent mpox infections contain a mutation called APOBEC3 - which tends to make viruses better at spreading in humans.
