Why avoid naming diseases after animals? The case of “Molluscum contagiosum”
For over 200 years, the name molluscum contagiosum—a dermatological disease—has unfairly associated molluscs (the second largest group of animals on the planet) with this highly contagious infectious disease. Herein, arguments are presented demonstrating the serious problem of continuing to use this name, including animal welfare concerns. Thus, to minimize any unnecessary impacts on the biodiversity and conservation of molluscs, we follow WHO best practices in naming diseases to suggest the use of the new term ‘wpox’ or ‘water warts’ as a synonym for molluscum contagiosum.

Man, piemēram, nepatīk, ka zobenvaļus (Orcinus orca) saukā par "killer whale", tāpēc esmu sācis dēvēt cilvēkus par "killer ape".
