Overview

Through restrictive endonuclease analysis of the genomes of isolates, molluscum contagiosum virus types I-IV have been identified.

Bateman first described the disease in 1817(Bateman F. Molluscum contagiosum. In: Shelley WB, Crissey JT, editors. Classics in Dermatology. Springfield, IL: Charles C Thomas; 1953. p. 20), and Paterson demonstrated its infectious nature in 1841. In 1905, Juliusburg proved its viral nature.

The disease was first described in 1814 (Bateman, 1814). The intracytoplasmic inclusion bodies (molluscum or Henderson-Paterson bodies) were described in 1841 (Henderson, 1841; Paterson, 1841) and the viral nature of the disease was eventually established in 1905 (Juliusberg, 1905). MCV is one of two poxviruses regarded as having specificity for the human host, the other being variola, the agent of smallpox. There have been occasional reports of molluscum contagiosum in other species (Brown et al., 1981) although these have not been substantiated by molecular analysis. MCV is also one of a small number of poxviruses which induce tumour formation in their natural hosts.

Discovery

Molluscum contagiosum was first discovered by Bateman in 1817 in his second edition of his synopsis.[1]

Landmark Events in the Development of Treatment Strategies

  • Molluscum contagiosum was first discovered by Bateman in 1817 in his second edition of his synopsis.[1]
  • The molluscum or Henderson-Paterson bodies (intracytoplasmic inclusion bodies, lobules containing hyalinized molluscum bodies) were described by Henderson and Paterson in 1841.[2]
  • The viral nature of the disease demonstrated by Juliusberg in 1905.[3]

Impact on Cultural History

  • An outbreak of Molluscum contagiosum has been reported in a small rural community. The outbreak infected 34 patients, most of them were children between 9-18 years old. Rsearchers reported the spread as a result of direct contact and by fomites.[4]
  • Outbreaks have occurred in the following settings:
    • Swimming pools (in children)
    • Wrestling matches
    • During surgery, by a surgeon with a hand lesion
    • Via tattoos (although rarely)
    • Sexually: MC can be sexually transmitted but not all genital lesions are sexually transmitted.[5]
