Perspective article in Medcomm-Future Medicine presents an analysis of the differences in clinical symptoms between 2022 #monkeypox outbreak and previous outbreaks. Less florid presentation may facilitate transmission.

@TheLancet @oriolmitja Superb article. My group at the same time has published an analysis of clinical symptoms of current vs previous outbreaks. https://t.co/2UvdZP41pe We have very similar findings - less florid and obvious symptoms may be masking the infected!

This finding is consistent with our report on Omicron specific neutralising antibody levels. https://t.co/q1QQbnDEKG.

[Nature Portfolio @NaturePortfolio]

Using data from Brazil during the Omicron wave, a study in @NatureComms shows that boosters following a CoronaVac primary series provided protection against severe COVID-19, with higher effectiveness from a Pfizer booster than CoronaVac booster. https://t.co/HcZePPvV4a
