Fatal monkeypox in wild-living sooty mangabey, Cote d'Ivoire, 2012.

ABSTRACT: We isolated a monkeypox virus from a wild-living monkey, a sooty mangabey, found dead in Taï National Park, Côte d'Ivoire, in March 2012. The whole-genome sequence obtained from this isolate and directly from clinical specimens showed its close relationship to monkeypox viruses from Western Africa.
