Summary
Wuhan Institute of Virology published on monkeypox research 3 months ago, NIH also have been researching monkeypox treatment https://reporter.nih.gov/search/sLt357_GeUyXtIUvUOY0MQ/project-details/10506292 Total funding, $9,824,009 The funding supports a clinical trial to identify effective treatments for monkeypox A re-emerging pathogen A disease of epidemic potential Causes significant morbidity and can result in death Human cases have been increasing in sub-Saharan Africa since 2000 Sporadic outbreaks outside of Africa have occurred Similarity between MPXV and the variola virus, coupled with concerns about the potential of the variola virus as a potential bioterrorism agent, have placed monkeypox treatments at the forefront of public health and scientific research agendas in many countries. Article in Virologica Sinica? https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1995820X22000414 Efficient assembly of a large fragment of monkeypox virus genome as a qPCR template using dual-selection based transformation-associated recombination (Feb 2022) Since MPXV infection has never been associated with an outbreak in China, the viral genomic material required for qPCR detection is unavailable. Using viral DNA recombinations Transformation-associated recombination (TAR), to assemble large DNA constructs A 55-kb genomic fragment of monkeypox virus in VL6-48B (yeast cells) What is Virologica Sinica? https://www.sciencedirect.com/journal/virologica-sinica/about/aims-and-scope Virologica Sinica, the official journal of Chinese Society for Microbiology, will serve as a platform for the communication and exchange of academic information and ideas in an international context. Discussion section However, this DNA assembly tool applied in virological research could also raise potent…
