Indian scientists have identified a new method to detect Monkeypox and develop diagnostic tools for the infection.
Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific Research (JNCASR) scientists have identified a new method to understand the virology of monkeypox virus (MPV).
Scientists have identified and characterised DNA sequences within the Monkeypox virus (MPV) genome.
The new findings will help develop diagnostic tools for deadly infections.
The outbreak of the Mpox virus has raised serious concerns as modes of transmission and symptoms are not well known.
A comprehensive understanding of virology is important for the rapid development of effective diagnostic and therapeutic strategies.
MPV is a double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) virus. It is currently detected through polymerase chain reaction (PCR).
