Mpox

 There's currently a Mpox virus outbreak.  Mpox, formerly known as monkeypox, is a virus that transmits from animals to animals and also from animals to humans (zoonotic transmission) and from humans to humans.  It has been observed in humans since 1970.

Many of the human to human transmissions come from exchange of bodily fluids through sexual contact, however there are also other pathways for infection to occur.

This virus is mutating and is often lethal so it's a real cause for concern.

A number of antivirals are being tested against Mpox

Could GRFT stop the progress of this epidemic?

We don't have an answer to that question as we haven't seen any research being done on GRFT vs Mpox yet.

If anyone has information regarding research being done using the anti-viral properties of GRFT to stop Mpox, please pass that on to us.

It seems probable that as Mpox is an enveloped virus, GRFT should be able to stop transmission into cells but we are waiting for the research to confirm this hypothesis.
