Summary
This review covers mpox (formerly monkeypox) history, epidemiology, and prevention. It also details clinical mpox characteristics, management, and severity in individuals with advanced HIV, highlighting future research needs.
Area of Science:
- Epidemiology
- Infectious Diseases
- Public Health
Background:
- Mpox (formerly monkeypox) is a viral disease with a growing public health impact.
- Understanding mpox epidemiology and clinical presentation is crucial for effective control.
- Individuals with advanced HIV may face unique challenges and increased severity of mpox.
Conclusions:
- A thorough understanding of mpox is essential for public health interventions.
- Tailored prevention and management strategies are needed, particularly for vulnerable populations like those with advanced HIV.
- Further research is critical to address knowledge gaps regarding mpox in persons with advanced HIV.

Retroviruses have a single-stranded RNA genome that undergoes a special form of replication. Once the retrovirus has entered the host cell, an enzyme called reverse transcriptase synthesizes double-stranded DNA from the retroviral RNA genome. This DNA copy of the genome is then integrated into the host’s genome inside the nucleus via an enzyme called integrase. Consequently, the retroviral genome is transcribed into RNA whenever the host’s genome is transcribed, allowing the...

Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are diseases transmitted primarily through unsafe sexual interactions. Bacteria, viruses, or parasites cause them and can result in severe health complications if untreated.ChlamydiaThe bacterium Chlamydia trachomatis is responsible for the disease Chlamydia, the most common STI in the United States. This peculiar pathogen requires human cells to reproduce, residing intracellularly. The initial infection often goes unnoticed because it typically does not...

Retroviruses and retrotransposons both insert copies of their genetic elements into the genome of the host cell. Thus, the viral genes are passed on when the host genome is replicated or translated. A typical retroviral DNA sequence contains 3-4 genes that encode the different proteins required for its structural assembly and function as a molecular parasite. This DNA is transcribed into a single mRNA, which is very similar in structure to conventional mRNAs, i.e., it is capped at the 5’...
