New strain of mpox virus: What you need to know
Matthew Ward Agius
12/09/2025
Health authorities in the United Kingdom confirmed on December
8, 2025, that they had detected a so-called "recombinant"
version of the mpox virus in a male patient.
A virus becomes a recombinant virus when two existing versions
of it recombine — by mixing their genetic information — to form
a new, hybrid version. This can happen when different types of a
virus infect a person at the same time.
The UK's national health security agency, UKHSA, said the
recombinant mpox virus was detected in a man who had recently
returned to the UK from Asia.
