AB On July 23, 2022, monkeypox disease (mpox) was declared a Public Emergency of International Concern(PHEIC) by the World Health Organization (WHO) due to a multicountry outbreak. In Europe, several casesof mpox virus (MPXV) infection related to this outbreak were detected in the Canary Islands (Spain). Herewe describe the combination of viral DNA sequencing and bioinformatic approaches, including methods forde novo genome assembly and short- and long-read technologies, used to reconstruct the first MPXVgenome isolated in the Canary Islands on the 31st of May 2022 from a male adult patient with mildsymptoms. The same sequencing and bioinformatic approaches were then validated with three other positive cases of MPXV infection from the same mpox outbreak. We obtained the best results using a reference-based approach with short reads, evidencing 46–79 nucleotide variants against viral sequencesfrom the 2018–2019 mpox outbreak and placing the viral sequences in the new B.1 sublineage of clade IIb ofthe MPXV classification. This study of MPXV demonstrates the potential of metagenomics sequencing forrapid and precise pathogen identification.
