About this Research Topic
Mpox research has surged to the forefront of scientific inquiry due to the recent Monkeypox outbreaks, presenting critical public health concerns and emphasizing the necessity for advanced research methods. The research predominantly focuses on understanding the virus's transmission dynamics, particularly in vulnerable groups like MSM, and exploring disease manifestations such as pharyngo-tonsillar infections. Recent technological advancements in omics technologies have revolutionized our approach, yet significant gaps remain in epidemiological tracking and personalized treatment strategies, highlighting the urgent need for comprehensive studies and solutions.
This Research Topic aims to encapsulate cutting-edge advancements while rigorously addressing the ongoing and emerging challenges within Mpox research. By scrutinizing the effectiveness of current molecular tools and assessing the socio-epidemiological impacts through focused case studies, the goal is to enhance our understanding and management of the virus, ultimately leading to improved public health responses and intervention strategies.
To refine the current understanding and expand the research boundaries concerning Mpox, we focus on selective, pivotal areas. Initially, the scope will delineate the critical application of transcriptomic and proteomic methods tailored specifically for Mpox research. We then extend an invitation to researchers to contribute to a diverse array of themes:
• Molecular diagnostics and monitoring in high-risk populations
• Case studies on atypical Mpox manifestations
• Impact of sociocultural factors on Mpox transmission
• Advances in vaccine development and therapeutic interventions
• Integration of big data and AI for predictive modeling
