Mpox is caused by the mpox virus, which belongs to the Orthopoxvirus genus and Poxviridae family. Animal hosts, such as African rodents, mice, prairie dogs, and non-human primates, play important roles in the development and transmission of outbreaks. Laboratory animal infection experiments have demonstrated that some animals are susceptible to mpox virus. This review summarizes the current progress on the animal hosts for mpox virus. The surveillance of mpox virus in animal hosts will provide important insights into virus tracing, analysis of mutation evolutionary patterns, transmission mechanisms, and development of control measures.

mpox病毒的动物宿主范围


Mpox 是由 mpox 病毒引起的，属于正痘病毒属、痘病毒科。动物宿主，如非洲啮齿动物、小鼠、草原土拨鼠和非人类灵长类动物，在疫情的发展和传播中发挥着重要作用。实验室动物感染实验表明，某些动物对mpox病毒易感。本文综述了当前mpox病毒动物宿主研究进展。对动物宿主中mpox病毒的监测将为病毒追踪、突变进化模式分析、传播机制和控制措施的制定提供重要见解。
