The transmission dynamics of the monkeypox outbreak in the UK LivUni OfficialUoM bmj_latest monkeypox virus virus transmission disease
By Pooja Toshniwal PahariaNov 7 2022Reviewed by Danielle Ellis, B.Sc. In a recent study published in BMJ, researchers analyzed monkeypox virus transmission dynamics among United Kingdom residents.
For every CC pair, an individual with primary MPX infection was referred to as the primary case , and the one infected by the PC was referred to as the secondary contact . Thus, CC pairs comprised individuals identified as contacts by cases that subsequently became cases or were already cases. The most recent date of PC contact reported by an individual in three weeks before SOD was considered the ED, and the date symptoms manifested was considered the SOD.
Out of the 30 PCs, SODs were documented for 19 PCs in the LL. In total, 220 CC pairs were reported, of which 79 had SODs for both individuals of the CC pair, forming the SI cohort. Of 650 individuals who completed the questionnaires, 54 provided SOD data and the date of the most recent contact with a PC, forming the IP cohort.
