Mpox Resurgence: A Multifaceted Analysis for Global Preparedness.

ABSTRACT: This study provides an in-depth analysis of mpox, encompassing its history, characteristics, epidemiology, diagnostics, treatment options, and the ongoing evolution of the virus and its transmission dynamics. Mpox, though once successfully eradicated, has re-emerged with new modes of transmission and a broader host range. Genomic analyses have revealed the virus's adaptability, posing challenges for diagnostics and vaccine efficacy. The epidemiology has shifted from sporadic zoonotic transmission in rural Africa to a significant presence in urban areas, particularly impacting high-risk populations. Advancements in diagnostics and therapeutics offer hope, but challenges persist. This work underscores the critical need for enhanced surveillance, vaccination strategies, and continued research
