Hi-PCR Monkeypox Virus Multiplex probe PCR Kit

Description

Monkeypox is a viral zoonotic disease caused by the monkeypox virus, which belongs to the Orthopoxvirus genus in the Poxviridae family. Transmission to humans typically occurs through direct contact with infected animals or humans, or exposure to contaminated materials. Although first identified in 1970 in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, monkeypox has historically been reported mainly in rural and rainforest regions of Central and West Africa. In recent years, the disease has attracted global attention due to several outbreaks. Notably, a significant outbreak began in 2022, with a marked increase in cases across several countries outside Africa.
