Semen facilitates infection with mpox virus, study shows

The mpox virus used to be transmitted predominantly from animals to humans. In recent years, however, new virus variants have become increasingly capable of spreading from person to person. Researchers at Goethe University and Universitätsmedizin Frankfurt have now found that seminal fluid facilitates the uptake of the mpox virus into cells. Their study is published in the journal Emerging Microbes & Infections.
