We estimate the levels of community testing, contact tracing, and vaccination required to reduce the effective reproduction number (Rt) of Monkeypox Virus (MPXV) below 1 for high risk men who have sex with men. We found that the critical threshold to vaccinate depends on the basic reproduction number of MPXV and on other public health measures. This analysis provides a framework for quantitative targets toward MPXV containment.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
