Phylogenetic Analysis of Polyomavirus BK Sequences [PDF]
Journal of Virology, 2006 ABSTRACT Polyomavirus BK (BKV) has emerged as an important pathogen in kidney transplant patients. Existing taxonomic classifications of BKV come from conventional DNA sequence alignments based on limited data derived from the VP1 gene. We have used a phylogenetic whole-genome approach to examine the pattern of diversity and evolutionary ...

Optimized amplification of BK polyomavirus in urine
Journal of Virological Methods, 2022 BK polyomavirus (BKPyV) is a ubiquitous pathogen that typically results in asymptomatic infection. However, in immunocompromised individuals, BKPyV viral shedding in the urine can reach 109 copies per mL. These high viral levels within urine provide ideal samples for next-generation sequencing to accurately determine BKPyV genotype and identify ...

Adaptive immune response against BK polyomavirus infection [PDF]
, 2023 BK polyomavirus is a small non-enveloped virus that is found in a large proportion of the human population. BKPyV infection commonly occurs in early childhood. The virus establishes persistent infection in renal tubular cells and uroepithelial cells.

The complete genome sequence BK polyomavirus study in kidney transplanted patients [PDF]
Journal of Nephropathology, 2019 Background: BK polyomavirus is a member of the Polyomaviridae. This virus has spread worldwide and up to 82% of the world populations are serologically positive. BK polyomavirus usually transmits through inhalation or fecal-oral way in childhood, as well

Characterizing determinants of BK Polyomavirus-specific immune response [PDF]
, 2016 BK polyomavirus (BKPyV) is one of now 13 human polyomavirus (HPyV) species detected in humans. BKPyV is only known to infect humans and seroprevalence rates of more than 90% have been reported in adult populations around the world.

Prevalence of cytomegalovirus and BK polyoma virus infection in post-renal transplant patients in a tertiary care centre in South India [PDF]
Journal of Nephropathology, 2017 Background: Viral infections are a significant cause of graft loss and dysfunction in kidney transplant recipients. Cytomegalovirus and BK polyomavirus have often been explained as the most common viral etiological agents.

JC and BK polyomavirus-like particles as targets of innate and adaptive humoral immunity [PDF]
, 2015 JC polyomavirus (JCPyV) and BK polyomavirus (BKPyV) were identified as the first of now more than 12 human polyomaviruses (HPyVs). The average JCPyV and BKPyV seroprevalence rates in adults are 70% and 90%, respectively. After asymptomatic infection both
