We report a cluster of clade I monkeypox virus infections linked to sexual contact in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Case investigations resulted in 5 reverse transcription PCR-confirmed infections; genome sequencing suggest they belonged to the same transmission chain. This finding demonstrates that mpox transmission through sexual contact extends beyond clade IIb.
我们报告了刚果民主共和国一组与性接触相关的 I 型猴痘病毒感染病例。病例调查导致 5 例逆转录 PCR 确认感染；基因组测序表明它们属于同一传播链。这一发现表明，通过性接触传播的猴痘病毒不仅限于 IIb 型。
