Lero, US FDA yalengeza kuvomereza kwa mankhwala atsopano a SIGA Technologies TPOXX (tecovirimat) ochizira nthomba. Ndikoyenera kutchula kuti awa ndi mankhwala atsopano a 21 ovomerezedwa ndi US FDA chaka chino komanso mankhwala atsopano ovomerezeka ochizira nthomba.
Dzina la nthomba, owerenga biomedical makampani sadzakhala achilendo. Katemera wa nthomba ndiye woyamba kupangidwa bwino ndi anthu, ndipo tili ndi chida chopewera matendawa. Chiyambireni katemera wa nthomba, anthu apambana pankhondo yolimbana ndi ma virus. Mu 1980, bungwe la World Health Organization linalengeza kuti tathetsa vuto la nthomba. Matenda opatsirana amtunduwu, omwe akhala akukhudzidwa kwambiri ndipo akhala akukambidwa, pang'onopang'ono achoka m'maganizo a anthu.
Koma chifukwa cha kucholoŵana kwa zinthu m’maiko m’zaka makumi angapo zimenezi, anthu anayamba kuda nkhaŵa kuti kachilombo ka nthomba kakhoza kupangidwa kukhala zida za tizilombo toyambitsa matenda, kuopseza miyoyo ya anthu wamba. Chifukwa chake, anthu adaganizanso zopanga mankhwala omwe amatha kuchiza nthomba pakagwa mwadzidzidzi. TPOXX idayamba kukhalapo. Monga mankhwala oletsa tizilombo toyambitsa matenda, amatha kulimbana ndi kufalikira kwa kachilombo ka variola m'thupi. Kutengera ndi kuthekera kwake, mankhwala atsopanowa apatsidwa ziyeneretso zofulumira, ziyeneretso zowunikiranso zofunika kwambiri, komanso ziyeneretso za mankhwala amasiye.
Mphamvu ndi chitetezo cha mankhwala atsopanowa ayesedwa mu mayesero a nyama ndi anthu, motsatira. Poyesa nyama, nyama zomwe zili ndi TPOXX zimakhala ndi moyo wautali kuposa zomwe zimathandizidwa ndi placebo pambuyo pa kachilombo ka variola. M'mayesero aumunthu, ochita kafukufuku adapeza anthu odzipereka athanzi a 359 (popanda matenda a nthomba) ndipo adawapempha kuti agwiritse ntchito TPOXX. Kafukufuku wasonyeza kuti zotsatira zofala kwambiri ndi mutu, nseru, ndi kupweteka kwa m'mimba popanda mavuto aakulu. Kutengera mphamvu zomwe zawonetsedwa pazoyeserera zanyama komanso chitetezo chowonetsedwa ndi mayesero a anthu, a FDA adavomereza kukhazikitsidwa kwa mankhwala atsopano.
"Poyankha kuopsa kwa bioterrorism, Congress yachitapo kanthu pofuna kuonetsetsa kuti tizilombo toyambitsa matenda tikugwiritsidwa ntchito ngati zida, ndipo tapanga ndikuvomereza njira zotsutsana nazo. Chivomerezo cha lero chikuimira chinthu chofunika kwambiri pakuchita zimenezi!” Mkulu wa FDA a Scott Gottlieb Dokotalayo anati: “Awa ndi mankhwala atsopano oyamba kupatsidwa ulemu waukulu wa 'Material Threat Medical Countermeasure'. Kuvomerezedwa kwamasiku ano kukuwonetsanso kudzipereka kwa FDA kuwonetsetsa kuti ndife okonzeka kuthana ndi vuto laumoyo wa anthu komanso kupereka chitetezo munthawi yake. Mankhwala atsopano ogwira mtima.”
Ngakhale kuti mankhwala atsopanowa akuyembekezeka kuchiza nthomba, tikuyembekezerabe kuti nthombayo sidzabweranso, ndipo tikuyembekezera mwachidwi tsiku limene anthu sadzagwiritsa ntchito mankhwala atsopanowa.
