Monkeypox is caused by infection with the monkeypox virus, and it belongs to the Orthopoxvirus genus in the family Poxviridae. The Orthopoxvirus genus also includes variola virus (which causes smallpox), vaccinia virus (used in the smallpox vaccine), and cowpox virus. In humans, the symptoms of monkeypox are similar to but milder than the symptoms of smallpox.

The Bioperfectus Monkeypox Virus/Varicella-zoster Virus/Variola Virus Real Time PCR Kit is an in vitro diagnostic test based on real-time PCR technology. With a housekeeping gene (RNase P) as an internal control (IC), the kit designs specific primers and probes based on the F3L gene for Monkeypox virus, ORF38 gene for Varicella-zoster Virus, B9R/B10R gene for Variola Virus. Specimens can be obtained from the human tonsillar swab, nasopharyngeal swab, serum, whole blood, lesion exudate, and scab.
