Molluscum contagiosum virus infection
The Lancet Infectious Diseases, 2013Molluscum contagiosum virus is an important human skin pathogen: it can cause disfigurement and suffering in children, in adults it is less common and often sexually transmitted. Extensive and persistent skin infection with the virus can indicate underlying immunodeficiency.

ELISA for Molluscum Contagiosum Virus
Current Protocols in Microbiology, 2017AbstractMolluscum contagiosum virus (MCV) is a common skin pathogen of children and young adults. Infection with MCV causes benign skin tumors in children and young adults and is mostly self‐limiting. In contrast to orthopoxviruses, MCV infections tend to take a subacute clinical course but may persist for up to 12 months.

Molluscum contagiosum virus (MCV) is a poxvirus that causes benign skin tumours in man, consisting of a localized mass of hypertrophied and hyperplastic epidermis due to enhanced basal cell division. The disease was first described in 1814 (Bateman, 1814).

Molluscum Contagiosum Virus: Persistence Pays Off
Future Virology, 2013The molluscum contagiosum (MC) virus (MCV) is a dermatotropic poxvirus, and the causative agent of MC. Unlike smallpox and human monkeypox diseases, MC is nonlethal, common and worldwide. Additionally, little inflammation is associated with MC papules, and MC can persist for months to years.

Structural characterization of the Molluscum contagiosum virus genome
Virology, 1977Abstract The genome of Molluscum contagiosum virus (MCV) appears in an electron microscope as a linear, duplex DNA molecule having a mean contour length of 53.02 ± 1.87 μm. Vaccinia virus DNA, similarly processed and used for comparison, measures 53.03 ± 2.2 μm. The average molecular weight of MCV-DNA was calculated to be 118 × 106.

Envelope and nucleoid ultrastructure of Molluscum contagiosum virus
Virology, 1977The ultrastructure of the mature and immature poxvirus Molluscum contagiosum has been examined by electron microscopy. With freeze-fracturing one fracture plane was observed in the viral envelope. During the conversion of immature into mature virus, particles inside the envelope become partly rearranged into parallel bands.

Recent advances in molluscum contagiosum virus research
1997Molluscum contagiosum virus (MCV) and variola virus (VAR) are the only two poxviruses that are specific for man. MCV causes skin tumors in humans and primarily in children and immunocompromised individuals. MCV is unable to replicate in tissue culture cells or animals. Recently, the DNA sequence of the 190 kbp MCV genome was reported by Senkevich et al.

Virus-specific and anticellular antibodies in molluscum contagiosum
British Journal of Dermatology, 1979Sera from patients with molluscum contagiosum showed a higher incidence of anticellular and fibrillar anticellular antibodies of IgM class as compared to sera from control subjects. Most patients with anticellular IgM antibodies also had molluscum contagiosum virus-specific antibodies.

Analysis of molluscum contagiosum virus genomes isolated in Japan
Journal of Medical Virology, 1995AbstractThe genomes of 477 Japanese strains of molluscum contagiosum virus (MCV) were analyzed using an in‐gel digestion method with the restriction enzyme BamHI, and classified into four types, including a newly detected type (MCV type 4). All type 1 (MCV‐1) genomes examined so far in Japan showed a common difference from the genome of the MCV‐1 ...

Molluscum Contagiosum and Human Immunodeficiency Virus
Archives of Dermatology, 1992To the Editor.— The recent article in theArchivesby Smith et al 1 on molluscum contagiosum brings to light some interesting new information about a disease that is poorly understood and that has become one of the most common cutaneous manifestations of infection with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) type 1.
