Monkeypox mutating at 12 times the expected rate
研究稱猴痘病毒變異速度超出預期
The monkeypox virus strain that has emerged across the world in recent weeks may be evolving at an abnormally fast rate - making it more infectious than previous versions of the virus. This means the virus, which is generally believed to spread by physical touch, contaminated surfaces or close bodily contact could spread in ways atypical to the tropical virus’ normal patterns.
最近幾周在世界各地出現的猴痘病毒毒株可能以異常速度快速進化，使其比以前的病毒更具傳染性。這意味著通常認為通過身體接觸、受污染的表面或非常密切的身體接觸傳播的猴痘病毒或能夠以與熱帶病毒正常模式不同的方式傳播。
It would explain the recent global monkeypox outbreak, where 201 cases have been detected across 25 US states and Washington, DC and over 3,500 cases detected worldwide in countries where the virus is not endemic.
這將解釋為什么最近猴痘在全球傳播，在美國25個州和華盛頓特區檢測到201例病例，在全球范圍內非猴痘病毒流行地區檢測到3500多例病例。
