Express | Building Monkeypox Virus Nucleic Acid Detection Reagent System
According to the World Health Organization's website:
As of 13:00 on 21 May,
92 confirmed cases and 28 suspected cases of monkeypox under investigation have
been reported to WHO from 12
non-monkeypox virus-endemic Member States (Table 1, Figure 1). No deaths have been reported to date.

confirmed and suspected cases of non-endemic monkeypox from May 13-21, 2022
With the exception of this new outbreak, WHO continues to receive updates on ongoing monkeypox case reporting through the established surveillance mechanism for cases in endemic countries (Integrated Disease Surveillance and Response). Monkeypox is endemic in Benin, Cameroon, Central African Republic, Democratic Republic of Congo, Gabon, Ghana (found only in animals), Ivory Coast, Liberia, Nigeria, Republic of Congo, Sierra Leone and South Sudan.
Based on the genetic sequence information of monkeypox virus, RENDU BIOTECHNOLOGY has established a nucleic acid detection system for monkeypox virus, which can not only specifically detect monkeypox virus, but also detect several viruses of the genus orpoxvirus (camelpox, cowpox, monkeypox, varicella, smallpox) and smallpox vaccine. The reagent system also contains human reference genes for sample quality control. At present, this product has obtained CE Certificate.
