Baylor Akhavan, Abu-Bakr Ahmed, Wilson To, Samir Alkhouri, Kavita Batra (all Medicine), published a study, "From forest to frontline: A comprehensive review of Mpox's global leap and viral evolution (2022–2024)," in the journal One Health. The study highlights how Mpox’s (MPXV) global trajectory now includes sustained transmission of both Clades I and II. The authors emphasize the urgent need for expanded genomic surveillance, pediatric-focused outbreak responses, and equitable access to diagnostics and vaccines. They conclude that a One Health approach is essential to address evolving viral behavior and health disparities in both endemic and non-endemic regions. This publication also underscores the value of mentorship, as Akhavan, Ahmed, To, and Alkhouri (all medical students) continue to collaborate with Dr. Batra on multiple projects, gaining critical research skills and contributing to the advancement of global health scholarship.
