Prevalence of Mpox Immunity Among the Core Group and Its Potential to Prevent Future Large-Scale Outbreaks

This journal discusses the role of core group theory in understanding the transmission dynamics of mpox, emphasizing that the virus primarily spreads through sexual contact and behaves similarly to other sexually transmitted infections. It highlights how infection-induced and vaccine-induced immunity within high-risk groups have significantly reduced transmission, making future large-scale outbreaks unlikely, though continued surveillance and vaccination efforts remain essential.
