What is Monkeypox?
MPox is a viral illness caused by the monkeypox virus, a species of the genus Orthopoxvirus, and it has two different clades: clade I and clade II.
The virus causes lesions across the whole body which can last 2-4 weeks accompanied by fever, headache, muscle aches, back pain, low energy, and swollen lymph nodes.
Detection of Monkeypox
Laboratory confirmation of Monkeypox is usually done by testing skin lesion material by PCR. These tests are key to distinguishing Monkeypox from chickenpox, measles, or other sexually transmitted diseases and for people to get treatment as early as possible and prevent further spread.
Bosphore Monkeypox Detection Kit v2 produced by Anatolia Geneworks, is one of these Real-Time PCR kits, that has been designed to detect the Monkeypox virus in human biological samples including lesion swabs, whole blood, serum, throat swabs, and saliva. This kit integrates exogenous and endogenous integral control to check extraction, PCR inhibition, sampling, or application errors.
