Abstract
The coding-complete genome sequences of monkeypox virus (MPXV) were
obtained from skin lesion swabs from two human cases detected in South Africa in June
2022. Sequence analyses indicated that the genetic sequences of the viruses associated
with these two cases were related most closely to the genetic sequences of other MPXVs
reported during the 2022 multicountry outbreak and belong to the monkeypox hMPXV-1
clade (previously West Africa clade) and B.1 lineage.
Description
DATA AVAILABILITY : The genome sequences for NICD-SVPL223 and NICD-SVPL232 were
submitted to NCBI GenBank (accession numbers ON918611 and ON927248). Raw sequence
data have also been deposited in NCBI (BioProject accession number PRJNA856120 and SRA
accession number SRR19995508 and SRR19995509).
