Viral genomes track the transmission of mpox in humans before 2017 outbreak
An analysis of mpox virus genomes from individuals infected between 2018 and 2023 has provided insights into how the virus emerged in the human population. The study revealed key drivers associated with animal-to-human transmission of the virus in the biodiverse border regions of Cameroon and Nigeria, and human-to-human transmission in Nigeria. Genomic analysis shows that mpox emerged in humans in 2014 in southern Nigeria.
The Mpox virus can affect the human brain and damage brain cells. This is shown by a new study by the University of Bern. The disease, formerly known as monkey pox, has spread widely in many countries in recent years. Often the disease is mild, with flu-like symptoms and rashes. However, serious complications are also possible. Between 1985 and 2021 approximately three percent of all infected neurological symptoms such as seizures or brain infla…

Can the monkeypox virus infect the human brain?
30.06.2025 - A new study led by researchers from the Institute of Virology and Immunology (IVI) and the University of Bern in collaboration with the Lausanne University Hospital and the Spiez Federal Laboratory shows that the monkeypox virus can spread efficiently in brain organoids, causing neuronal cell death. The study provides important insights into a previously unexplored aspect of MPXV infe
