New monkeypox gene type analyzed in Ho Chi Minh City

On October 3rd, the Department of Health of Ho Chi Minh City revealed

Remarkably, this gene type closely resembles those recently discovered in other countries such as Japan, Portugal, and South Korea, suggesting a global spread of the monkeypox virus. The Department of Health in Ho Chi Minh City posits that this finding differentiates the strain of monkeypox virus associated with gene type C1 from the strain characterized by gene type A.2.1, which was identified in two cases imported to Vietnam from Dubai in October 2022. This gene decoding underscores the genetic diversity within the monkeypox virus. Furthermore, representatives from the Department of Health assert that additional analysis of the gene sequences from new cases will further our understanding of the virus's origin and circulation.
