The phylogenetic tree was constructed using Maximum likelihood method. The reference sequences for the MPXV genome clades and lineages were downloaded from the NCBI website. The MPXV genome sequences retrieved from two confirmed Monkeypox cases in India are marked in red color with GISAID accession ID (EPI_ISI_13953611 and EPI_ISI_13953610) in A.2 lineage along with sequences from USA.
