Dr. Roger Seheult examines the monkeypox mutation mechanism since discovery as the virus spreads wider in the population.

A note of interest is from 1978 till 2017, no cases of West African strain of Monkeypox were reported. Since then more and more cases had surfaced including cases of a particular strain (2018/2019) reported from Israel, UK and Singapore. DNA viruses don't mutate as much as RNA viruses. Monkeypox virus usually mutates at a rate of 1 to 2 base pairs a year. The mutation rate from 2017 on shows the virus mutation skyrocketed to 47 base pairs a year. Furthermore these did not appear to be random mutations, these were very specific mutations.
