Overview
Monkeypox virus is a member of orthopoxvirus genus (family Poxviridae)[1]. The monkeypox virus genome consists of linear double-stranded DNA that multiplies in the cytoplasm of infected cell[2]. Possible routes of transmission are animal-to-animal, animal-to-human, and human-to-human. Virus is transmitted via direct contact with body fluids or lesions of infection person or animal, direct contact with contaminated materials such as clothing, and via respiratory secretions[3]. The role of vaginal fluids and semen in the transmission of the virus is still being investigated[4].
Transmission
Animal-to-animal, animal-to-human, human-to-animal[5], and human-to-human are all possible routes to transmit the disease. Monkeypox can be transmitted by[3]
- Direct contact with bodily fluids or sores on the body of someone who has monkeypox
- Direct contact with contaminated materials such as clothing or linens
- Respiratory secretions when people have close, face-to-face contact
A study showed that monkeypox virus was isolated from a person’s semen 6 days after symptoms appeared[6]. Other studies found that the DNA of the virus was present in semen weeks after infection[7][8][9][10]. However, the role of semen or vaginal fluids in the transmission remains unclear[4][11].
Genetics
- Monkeypox virus is a member of orthopoxvirus genus, which is a subdivision of Chordopoxvirinae that belongs to family Poxviridae[1].
- It is a linear double-stranded DNA virus that multiplies in the cytoplasm of infected cell[2].
- All the proteins required for viral DNA replication, transcription, virion assembly, and egress are encoded by the MPXV genome.
- The genes encoding for housekeeping functions are present in the central region of the genome, and the genes encoding the virus–host interactions are located in the termini region[12].
- The nucleotide sequence within the central region of the monkeypox virus genome is 96.3% identical with that of smallpox virus. Nonetheless, monkeypox virus is not the direct ancestor of smallpox virus and is unlikely to naturally acquire all properties of smallpox virus[13].
