First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study will check how well three new rapid tests detect mpox virus compared to a standard lab test. Researchers will use about 80 stored skin swab samples from Uganda. The goal is to see if these quick, portable tests are accurate enough for use in places without full labs.
