摘要
Different kinds of media spiked with monkeypox virus(MPXV)were subjected to heat inactivation at different temperatures for various periods of time.The results showed that MPXV was inactivated in less than 5 min at 70℃and less than 15 min at 60℃,with no difference between viruses from the West African and Central African clades.The present findings could help laboratory workers to manipulate MPXV in optimal biosafety conditions and improve their protocols.
