Monkeypox pathogenesis Monkeypox is a double-stranded DNA virus, and its genome is composed of 190 large non-overlapping open reading frames and structural proteins. The viral host cell entry process is initiated by the fusion of viral glycoproteins with host cell membrane glycosaminoglycans. About 95% of the recent infections have been detected in MSM and bisexual men. Another common finding among monkeypox-infected individuals is a positive status for human immunodeficiency virus .
Regarding vertical transmission, previous studies have indicated that the virus can adversely affect pregnancy, including congenital infection and severe maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality.
