Several mpox outbreaks, caused by subclades Ia and Ib monkeypox virus (MPXV), are ongoing in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The World Health Organization declared the ongoing mpox outbreak a Public Health Emergency of International Concern due to the geographic expansion of subclade Ib. We assessed the performance of a novel multiplex real-time PCR assay designed for MPXV detection and simultaneous subclade Ib identification. This assay demonstrates high accuracy and specificity, underscoring its use for the current mpox outbreak.
