| Abstract |
The multi-country mpox outbreak across the globe has led to the systematic surveillance of mpox cases in India. During the surveillance of mpox, we encountered cases of Varicella Zoster Virus (VZV) in suspected mpox cases amongst children & adults. This study focused on the genomic characterization of VZV in India. A total of 331 mpox suspected cases were tested for VZV through real-time PCR, and the positive samples were subjected to next-generation sequencing to retrieve the whole genome of VZV using CLC genomics software. Phylogenetic analysis has been done in MEGA 11.0 software to identify circulating clades. Of the 331 suspected cases, 28 cases with vesicular rashes were found to be positive for VZV. The maximum genome could be retrieved from the clinical specimens of 16 cases with coverage greater than 98% when mapped with reference strain Dumas (NC 001348). The phylogenetic analyses of these sequences determined the circulation of clades 1, 5, and 9 in India. Further, the sequence analysis demonstrated non-synonymous single nucleotide polymorphism (SNPs) among specific ORF of VZV including ORF 14, ORF 22, ORF 36, ORF 37 and ORF 51. Although clade 1 and 5 has been reported earlier, the circulation of clade 9 of VZV has been determined for the first time in India. Although the circulation of different clades of VZV was reported from India, the presence of clade 9 was detected for the first time during the mpox surveillance. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 23. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 14 September 2023.
All research outputs
#1,559,829
of 24,618,075 outputs
Outputs from Annals of Medicine
#92
of 1,486 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#21,376
of 295,213 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Annals of Medicine
#3
of 31 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 24,618,075 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done particularly well and is in the 93rd percentile: it's in the top 10% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,486 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 12.1. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 93% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 295,213 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 92% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 31 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 93% of its contemporaries.
