On July 9th, CCTV reported that a total of 5 confirmed cases of monkeypox have been reported in Tianjin, Changsha, Hunan, Shenyang, Liaoning, and other places in the past 5 days. Monkeypox is a zoonosis caused by Monkeypox virus. The disease has a high proportion of Asymptomatic infections, and the symptoms are often "atypical", which is easy to be misdiagnosed as other diseases, with a high risk of hidden transmission. Early diagnosis can prevent the widespread spread of the virus and promote timely treatment and recovery of infected individuals.

Southern Medical UniversityThe team of Shen Chenguang and Zhao Wei from the School of Public Health overcame difficulties, carried out research on the virus, developed rapid diagnostic reagents related to Monkeypox virus, and published relevant results recently, providing important scientific means for the diagnosis, treatment, prevention and control of monkeypox epidemic.

Rapid diagnostic reagents related to Monkeypox virus developed by the team

The main source of monkeypox infection is rodents infected with Monkeypox virus. Primates (including monkeys, chimpanzees, humans, etc.) can also become sources of infection after infection. The main clinical manifestations of monkeypox infected persons are fever, rash and Lymphadenopathy. For the treatment of this disease, there is no specific anti Monkeypox virus drug in China at present, mainly for symptomatic support and treatment of complications.
