Show abstract

Four confirmed mpox cases in South Ubangi province, Democratic Republic of the Congo, were linked to documented transboundary transmission from Central African Republic. Viral genome sequencing shows that the MPXV sequences belong to subclade Ia. This demonstrates the borderless nature of mpox and highlights the need for vigilant regional surveillance.

"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.
