Semen facilitates infection with mpox virus, study shows

Researchers at Goethe University and Universitätsmedizin Frankfurt have identified a mechanism by which seminal fluid facilitates the uptake of the mpox virus into host cells, offering new insights into the pathogen's evolving transmission dynamics. Historically, mpox was transmitted predominantly from animals to humans; however, recent outbreaks have been driven by new variants that exhibit an increased capacity for person-to-person
