Comprehensive analysis of 66 complete molluscum contagiosum virus (MOCV) genomes: characterization and functional annotation of 47 novel complete MOCV genomes, including the first genome of MOCV genotype 3, and a proposal for harmonized MOCV genotyping indexing

Comprehensive analysis of 66 complete molluscum contagiosum virus (MOCV) genomes: characterization and functional annotation of 47 novel complete MOCV genomes, including the first genome of MOCV genotype 3, and a proposal for harmonized MOCV genotyping indexing

ABSTRACTFour molluscum contagiosum virus (MOCV) genotypes (MOCV1–4) and four subtype variants (MOCV1p, MOCV1va, MOCV1vb, and MOCV1vc) were partially characterized using restriction enzyme profiling in the early 1980s/1990s. However, complete genome sequences of only MOCV1 and MOCV2 are available. Th...
