Monkeypox outbreak diagnostics and implications for vaccine protective effect
Article Abstract:
A study by a group of researchers describes diagnostic tests for evaluating monkeypox-specific serologic and cellular immune responses in persons associated with the 2003 outbreak in the US. A response to that study clarifies statements and assertions regarding the public health response and epidemiologic documentation of human monkeypox emergence in the US, and addresses observations regarding international public health responses to the disease.
