Tracing the transmission of mpox through wastewater surveillance in Southeast Asia.
Journal of Travel Medicine, 30 (5), taad096.
10.1093/jtm/taad096
High population density and tourism in Southeast Asia increase the risk of mpox due to frequent interpersonal contacts. Our wastewater surveillance in six Southeast Asian countries revealed positive signals for Monkeypox virus (MPXV) DNA, indicating local transmission. This alerts clinicians and helps allocate resources like testing, vaccines and therapeutics in resource-limited countries.
