Together with the World Health Organization, we named three clades (I, IIa and IIb) in order of detection. Within IIb, the cause of the current global outbreak, we identified multiple lineages (A.1, A.2, A.1.1 and B.1) to support real-time genomic surveillance.engMonkeypox VirusDiagnosisGenomicsDisease OutbreaksEpidemiologyjournal article10.1371/journal.pbio.3001769
