| Abstract | This research will develop models to understand and predict the spread of monkeypox virus (MPXV). In 2022, monkeypox virus (MPXV) surprised health authorities by causing a fast-growing global outbreak, apparently driven by transmission via sexual contact. Research and intervention efforts have focused on limiting the impacts of the outbreak via targeted testing, vaccination, treatment, and public information campaigns. However, there is a parallel need to understand whether MPXV could spread sub |
