Computational model compares mpox's airborne transmission risk to COVID-19 and smallpox
A collaborative research effort between the A*STAR Infectious Diseases Labs (A*STAR IDL) and the A*STAR Institute of High Performance Computing (A*STAR IHPC) has provided new insights into the likelihood of mpox spreading by airborne respiratory particles, comparing it to SARS-CoV-2 and smallpox.

Will mpox become an airborne respiratory pathogen like its now-eradicated relative, smallpox? Our researchers led by Dr Matthew Tay, in collaboration with #IHPC #A*STAR, conducted simulation modeling and found that mpox poses a much lower risk of becoming a true respiratory pathogen.
