We conducted a genomic analysis of monkeypox virus sequences collected early in the 2022 outbreak, during July-August , in Washington, USA. Using 109 viral genomes, we found low overall genetic diversity, multiple introductions into the state, ongoing community transmission, and potential for co-infections by multiple strains.
我们对 2022 年 7 月至 8 月在美国华盛顿收集的猴痘病毒序列进行了基因组分析。使用 109 个病毒基因组,我们发现总体遗传多样性较低,有多个病毒传入该州,存在社区传播,并且可能存在多种毒株的合并感染。
