The Monkeypox virus is an obligate intracellular parasite, meaning it cannot carry out metabolic processes independently and is entirely dependent on the host cell's metabolism. The monkeypox virus can hijack and alter the host cell's metabolism, inducing glycolysis in the host cell to provide rapid ATP production and suppressing the host's immune response, all to aid in efficient viral reproduction. | |||

Species
NCBI: [1] |
Genus species
Description and Significance
Describe the appearance, habitat, etc. of the organism, and why you think it is important.
Genome Structure
Describe the size and content of the genome. How many chromosomes? Circular or linear? Other interesting features? What is known about its sequence?
Cell Structure, Metabolism and Life Cycle
Interesting features of cell structure; how it gains energy; what important molecules it produces.
Metabolism
The Monkeypox virus is an obligate intracellular parasite, meaning it cannot carry out metabolic processes independently and is entirely dependent on the host cell's metabolism. The monkeypox virus can hijack and alter the host cell's metabolism, inducing glycolysis in the host cell to provide rapid ATP production and suppressing the host's immune response, all to aid in efficient viral reproduction.
Ecology and Pathogenesis
Habitat; symbiosis; biogeochemical significance; contributions to environment.
If relevant, how does this organism cause disease? Human, animal, plant hosts? Virulence factors, as well as patient symptoms.
