The MCV&OPXV qPCR Duplex comprises a series of specific targeted reagents designed for Molluscum contagiosum virus  and Orthopoxvirus detection by using multiplexed qPCR. Orthopoxvirus and Molluscum contagiosum virus (species Molluscipoxvirus molluscum) are enveloped viruses with double-stranded DNA genomes that belong to the family Poxviridae. Orthopoxvirus is a genus of viruses that includes notable members such as Variola virus, Vaccinia virus, Cowpox virus and Monkeypox virus. These viruses cause distinct diseases in humans, including smallpox and monkeypox. Molluscum contagiosum virus is the causative agent of molluscum contagiosum, a benign cutaneous infection that affects humans. Clinical manifestations of Orthopoxvirus infections typically include systemic symptoms such as fever and malaise followed by a progressive pustular rash, whereas Molluscum contagiosum virus infection presents with localized, dome-shaped, umbilicated papules on the skin. Transmission occurs through direct contact, respiratory droplets, or contaminated materials for Orthopoxvirus, and mainly through skin-to-skin contact or fomites for Molluscum contagiosum virus.
