Transmission properties of different clades of MPXV and their virulence in humans and mice. The finding of MPXV clades in an animal reservoir, their ability to spread to humans from animals, and their efficiency of human-to-human transmission are indicated. The virulence of MPXV clades in humans and CAST/EiJ mice, as described by Americo et al. (3), is shown. Solid bars show a relative quantification of the properties. Empty bars indicate that no information is available.
