Issue Date: | 2023 | Publisher: | OXFORD UNIV PRESS INC | Source: | CLINICAL INFECTIOUS DISEASES, 76 (3) , p. e1421-e1423 | Abstract: | We used a network model to simulate a monkeypox epidemic among men who have sex with men. Our findings suggest that unrecognized infections have an important impact on the epidemic, and that vaccination of individuals at highest risk of infection reduces epidemic size more than post-exposure vaccination of sexual partners. | Notes: | Van Dijck, C (corresponding author), Inst Trop Med, HIV STI Unit, Natl Str 155, B-2000 Antwerp, Belgium. cvandijck@itg.be |
