Abstract
In response to the increasing number of mpox cases caused by monkeypox virus (MPXV) clade I in the African continent and the first reported travel-related clade Ib case of mpox in EU/EEA, the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control surveyed national capability for detection and characterisation of MPXV in the EU/EEA. The results showed high level of capability for case confirmation by PCR, alongside molecular typing methods for identification of MPXV clades and/or clade I subclades within the EU/EEA.
