The maximum likelihood phylogenomic tree was built using whole genome alignment of 92 Shenzhen MPXV sequences with representative reference genomes of MPXV. Red branches with red labels indicate genomes from Shenzhen outbreak. Black labels in the tree indicate sequences from the GISAID or NCBI databases. The tree labels were colored by each lineage. The tree was rooted using clade I as an outgroup. Black dots in the middle of the branch represented bootstrap support values > 75. The scale bar indicates the number of substitutions per site. The connection lines between nodes in the tree represented the epidemiological associations. Red lines meant sexual contacts, while blue lines meant high-risk sexual behavior in travel history. The inner annotation ring illustrated three main MPXV clade. The middle annotation ring showed the isolated location of each MPXV. The outer annotation ring represented the isolated date of each MPXV.
