A monkeypox virus genomic surveillance pilot began in King County, Washington, USA, during the 2022 outbreak. Genomic surveillance proved critical in determining local versus international exposure of a case where no known exposures were identified by interview, illustrating the value of genomics in case investigation and public health practice.
2022年猴痘病毒疫情期间,美国华盛顿州金县启动了一项猴痘病毒基因组监测试点项目。对于一例通过访谈未发现已知暴露源的病例,基因组监测在确定其感染源是本地还是国际来源方面发挥了关键作用,这体现了基因组学在病例调查和公共卫生实践中的价值。
