Phylogenetic position of the MPXV-TNP isolate (framed in green) from a wild-living sooty mangabey (Cercocebus atys), March 2012, within the West African clade. MPXV-TNP is closely related to the strain isolated from a human in Liberia in 1970. Calculated with MrBayes (with gaps) as binary model (http://mrbayes.csit.fsu.edu). MPXV, monkeypox virus; TNP, Taï National Park (Côte d’Ivoire). Scale bar indicates nucleotide substitutions per site.
