Celebrations18! FINAL DRAFT

WHAT Celebrations18! EDITED

When reading this article, I noticed that there was not much information on the relationship between Monkeypox virus and Small Pox virus, so I added information about that subject to the article. There was also a lack of information of the future of Monkeypox virus, so I added some statistics about recent numbers of Monkeypox and a little bit on how to slow the spread. From my first draft to my final draft, there were several grammatical errors that I corrected. For instance, I took out the “And,” in the second sentence and I added a another citation in the “Future of Monkeypox” section. I also linked some of the key topics to other existing articles.

Monkeypox Vs. Small Pox Viruses

Scientists have concluded that monkeypox evolved from smallpox. A study was done that revealed the monkeypox genome to match the genome of orthopoxviruses. In comparison to the handful of select poxviruses, monkeypox was closely related to smallpox. [1] Due to the similarities between smallpox and monkeypox, the same vaccinia virus used to treat smallpox can be used to treat monkeypox. [2] The vaccinia vaccine eradicated small pox in 1979. One study showed that approximately 20% of individuals with monkeypox were vaccinated with smallpox. Those 20% were the ones who had a milder case of monkeypox. However, the supply of vaccinia virus vaccines is too low to supply worldwide vaccines. [3]

Future of Monkeypox

With the rise of monkeypox in 2021-2022, scientists and the WHO are concerned about the increase of monkeypox cases in the US and other parts of the world creating a worldwide outbreak. Since May 2022, there have been approximately 370 cases in the United Kingdom, 45 cases in the United States, and 115 cases in Canada. [4] According to a study, the majority of cases were amongst homosexual men. However, no matter how monkeypox are spread, it is encouraged that people still practice proper hygiene: hand washing, bathing, covering coughs, cleaning surfaces, etc. [4]

Vaccination

Scientists have concluded that monkeypox evolved from smallpox. A study was done that revealed the monkeypox genome to match the genome of orthopoxviruses. And, in comparison to handful of select poxviruses, monkeypox was closely related to smallpox. [1] Due to the similarities between smallpox and monkeypox, the same vaccinia virus used to treat smallpox can be used to treat monkeypox. [2] The vaccinia vaccine eradicated small pox in 1979. One study showed that approximately 20% of individuals with monkeypox were vaccinated with smallpox. And those 20% were the ones who had a milder case of monkeypox. However, the supply of vaccinia virus vaccines is too low to supply worldwide vaccines. [3]

Vaccination

[edit]

The modified vaccinia Ankara vaccine is the most up-to-date vaccine for pox viruses, including the Monkeypox virus. This shot is administered in two rounds four weeks apart and is clinically proven to be safer by stimulating antibody production and not creating skin lesions or risking disseminated spread like older pox vaccines.[5]

Immune System Interaction

[edit]

Pox viruses have protein mechanisms that evade hosts' innate and adaptive immune systems. Even when infected human fibroblast cells have been observed to show cytopathic changes, gene expression of the host cell remains unchanged. Even interferon mechanisms by human fibroblast cells weren't activated enough to slow the virus.[6] One example of one of these mechanisms includes the Monkeypox virus expressing gene BR-209, which is essentially an interleukin-1β (IL-1β) inhibitor that prevents interaction with the receptor. Interleukin is a cytokine that creates inflammation upon infection. [7] Another example is the expression and secretion of viral complement control protein (CCP), also known as MOPICE, in the Monkeypox virus. Complement proteins evade immune responses that would typically result in virus neutralization, opsonization, viral particle lysis, or phagocytosis. [8]

Landon's rough vs final draft

[edit]

All information under "Vaccination" and "Immune System Interaction" was moved to the article as is. Note that the rough draft did NOT have linked sources to key words (hence why there are only minor differences between the rough draft and the final draft as shown above).
