Real-world effectiveness of a single dose of mpox vaccine in males

Yael Wolff Sagy et al.

Summary: The effectiveness of one subcutaneous dose of MVA-BN vaccine in preventing mpox virus infection was estimated to be 86% in a cohort study of vaccine-eligible males in Israel. The study provides evidence supporting the use of MVA-BN vaccine to control the outbreak of mpox virus. This observational study evaluated the real-world effectiveness of a single dose of MVA-BN vaccine in a high-risk cohort and found that vaccination was associated with a significantly lower risk of MPXV infection.

A comprehensive analysis of Usutu virus (USUV) genomes revealed lineage-specific codon usage patterns and host adaptations

Jianglin Zhou et al.

Summary: This study investigated the evolution and codon usage patterns of the Usutu virus (USUV). They found that USUV is influenced by various factors in its codon usage, including natural selection, mutation pressure, and dinucleotide abundance. The study also observed a complex interaction of codon usage between USUV and its host, suggesting a potential risk of cross-species transmission and subsequent outbreaks. Therefore, further epidemiologic surveys, diversity monitoring, and pathogenetic research are warranted.

Genomic annotation and molecular evolution of monkeypox virus outbreak in 2022

Lulan Wang et al.

Summary: Monkeypox virus (MPXV) has been circulating in West and Central Africa. Recent outbreaks in nonendemic countries were analyzed, revealing that the MPXV-2022 strains belong to the same lineage as the 2018 strain with several new mutations. Some specific proteins were found to be more prone to mutation in the MPXV genome. This study provides insights into the ongoing MPXV outbreak and identifies novel mutations for further research.

Multi-valent mRNA vaccines against monkeypox enveloped or mature viron surface antigens demonstrate robust immune response and neutralizing activity

Niubing Zhang et al.

Summary: Monkeypox has been declared a global health emergency with 86,000 confirmed cases and 111 deaths reported across 110 countries as of March 2023. A study developed multi-valent mRNA vaccines against monkeypox virus and examined their efficacy and mechanism of action. The mRNA vaccines elicited a dynamic immune response and strong IgG response, with the combination of EV and MV antigens providing the strongest protection against VACV. The findings provide insight into the protective mechanism of multi-valent mRNA vaccines and lay the foundation for further development of effective vaccines against monkeypox virus outbreak.

Rational development of multicomponent mRNA vaccine candidates against mpox

Rong-Rong Zhang et al.

Summary: The re-emerging mpox virus has become a public health emergency of international concern and developing a safe and effective mRNA vaccine against it is a top priority. Using a lipid nanoparticle-encapsulated mRNA vaccine platform, a panel of multicomponent MPXV vaccine candidates were constructed and prepared, which elicited strong immune responses in mice. Particularly, the penta- and tetra-component vaccine candidates showed superior capability of inducing neutralizing antibodies and protecting mice from VACV challenge. This study provides critical insights for understanding the protection mechanism of MPXV infection and supports further clinical development of these multicomponent mRNA vaccine candidates.

Monkeypox virus quadrivalent mRNA vaccine induces immune response and protects against vaccinia virus

Ye Sang et al.

Summary: Monkeypox has been declared a public health emergency by the World Health Organization. Two mRNA vaccines, mRNA-A-LNP and mRNA-B-LNP, based on specific proteins of the monkeypox virus, have been developed and shown to induce immune responses in mice, including specific antibodies and cellular immunity. These vaccines also provide protection against vaccinia virus challenge in mice and have the potential to be used against other orthopoxviruses.

Community transmission of monkeypox in the United Kingdom, April to May 2022

Roberto Vivancos et al.

Summary: Between 7 and 25 May, 86 cases of monkeypox have been confirmed in the UK, with only one case known to have traveled to a monkeypox virus endemic country. The majority of the cases were males, among which 66 reported being gay, bisexual, or men who have sex with men. This is the first sustained human-to-human transmission of monkeypox in the UK, occurring through close contacts, including sexual networks. Ongoing efforts are being made to improve case identification and prevent further transmission.

Genomic Sequencing and Analysis of a Novel Human Cowpox Virus With Mosaic Sequences From North America and Old World Orthopoxvirus

Diana Diaz-Canova et al.

Summary: In this study, the complete genome sequence of an atypical cowpox virus (CPXV-No-H2) isolated from a human in Norway was determined. The virus showed a mosaic genome with genes most similar to other orthopoxviruses and multiple potential recombination events were identified. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that CPXV-No-H2 formed a distinct clade with German CPXV isolates and clustered closely with the ECTV-OPXV Abatino clade.

Perumal Arumugam Desingu et al.

Summary: According to the available sequence data, monkeypox virus exhibits point mutations in multiple proteins, which contribute to the potential for a multi-country outbreak. The analysis also reveals codon usage bias and a favorable trend for human adaptation in the mutated genes. Furthermore, selection pressure plays a significant role in the evolution of these mutated genes.

Joana Isidro et al.

Summary: In this study, shotgun metagenomics were used to rapidly reconstruct and characterize the genome sequences of the largest monkeypox virus outbreak in non-endemic countries so far. The findings indicate that the outbreak most likely has a single origin and that the virus belongs to clade 3. Furthermore, the study suggests the involvement of host APOBEC3 in viral evolution and reveals signs of ongoing microevolution in the virus.

Summary: Monkeypox, a viral zoonotic disease endemic in Central and West Africa, has recently been reported in non-endemic countries. A study found two lineages of monkeypox virus (MPXV) in US cases, with one being the major variant of the 2022 outbreak and the other being a minor variant. Analysis suggests that APOBEC3 gene activity may be a dominant driver of MPXV evolution in the current outbreak.

Evolutionary and codon usage preference insights into spike glycoprotein of SARS-CoV-2

Yashpal Singh Malik et al.

Summary: The interaction between the SARS-CoV-2 spike glycoprotein and the ACE2 cell receptor is crucial for virus attachment to human cells, and certain mutations in the S-protein can strengthen binding affinity to ACE2. Recombination events in SARS-CoV-2 strains are frequent, suggesting a common origin with predecessors and genetic exchange between potential reservoirs and human hosts. Comprehensive analysis of codon bias in SARS-CoV-2 indicates adaptation in other animal hosts and potential use in experimental animal models for drug and vaccine development research.
