Temporal and age-structured analysis of Mpox spread in the 2022 Global outbreak: data-assimilation insights for epidemic control
The transmissibility of mpox within the 18-44 age group follows a distinct pattern of rapid growth-slow decline not observed to the same extent in other age groups. Real-time estimation of mpox transmissibility within or between age groups helps us to understand the dynamic process of mpox interpersonal transmission better and evaluate the effect of various interventions in real world more promptly.
