U.S. Officials Hopeful That Monkeypox Can Be Eliminated in the country

Fri, 2022-09-23 17:24 — mike kraft

WASHINGTON — With monkeypox cases on the decline nationally, federal health officials expressed optimism on Thursday that the virus could be eliminated in the United States, though they cautioned that unless it was wiped out globally, Americans would remain at risk.

“Our goal is to eradicate; that’s what we’re working toward,” Dr. Demetre Daskalakis, the deputy coordinator of the White House monkeypox response team, said during a visit to a monkeypox vaccination clinic in Washington. He added, “The prediction is, we’re going to get very close.”

Analysis: The evolutionary consequences of delaying intervention for monkeypox--Study

Fri, 2022-09-23 17:13 — mike kraft

Evolutionary consequences of delaying intervention for monkeypox Since May, 2022, clusters of monkeypox infections have caused global concern. At present, this concern has been tempered by the fact that, even when uncontrolled, the number of infections is growing slowly, indicating a reproductive number (R) not much larger than unity. However, the effect of R on the probability of evolution might not be obvious.
