Monkeypox virus, the cause of Mpox, is a zoonotic disease endemic to Africa. There are two primary clades: Clade I and Clade II. Since Jan 2022, over 99,000 global Mpox cases have been reported, mainly from Clade II.b. However, Clade I remains a concern with increasing outbreaks in Central Africa and recent cases outside its traditional range.
The H5N1 virus, known as bird flu, poses serious risks to wildlife, agriculture, and humans. Since 2020, the 2.3.4.4b strain has spread globally, with rare but severe human cases linked to infected poultry and cattle. The BV-BRC offers the latest data, outbreak maps, and resources to support research and response efforts. Learn more about the evolving outbreak and its impact.

Register now for ICTV's upcoming webinar to learn about their tools and resources
Quick start guides and short video tutorials designed to orient new users as well as users from the legacy PATRIC, IRD and ViPR resources to the new BV-BRC Resource.
The BV-BRC offers an online Bacterial Bioinformatics course, freely available through Coursera. This course provides demonstrations and exercises for performing common genomics-based analysis tasks of bacterial sequence data.
The BV-BRC will continue to be supported by NIAID under Award Number U24Al183849. We will continue to support all of the current datasets and tools along with existing (and new) user workspaces. Additional enhancements to our data and tools will also be coming in future updates.
