Aerosols of concentrated virus may result in Orthopoxvirus infection, especially in unimmunized individuals.

The Molluscum contagiosum virus virion is described as oval-shaped and has the dimension of approximately 320 nm × 250 nm × 200 nm. The virus has two distinct infectious particles called the mature virion (MV) and the enveloped virion (EV), which differ in that the EV contains a second outer cellular membrane.
The virus enters the body through broken skin, or mucosal surfaces such as the mouth, respiratory tract, or genitals. [ 1 ] Mpox can be transmitted from one person to another through contact with infectious lesion material or fluid on the skin, in the mouth or on the genitals; this includes touching, close contact, and during sex.
