Burden and Correlates of Multiple Chronic Infections and Their Associations With Cancer Incidence in Chinese Adults: A Large Case‐Cohort Study

open access: yesInternational Journal of Cancer, Volume 159, Issue 5, Page 1282-1295, 1 September 2026.
While several oncogenic pathogens cause site‐specific cancers, uncertainties remain about many other chronic infections and combined pathogen effects, especially in non‐Western populations. Using a large case–cohort study nested within the China Kadoorie Biobank, the authors found that co‐infection was common, with a mean of 10 pathogens per individual.

Control of Archetype BK Polyomavirus MicroRNA Expression

open access: yesJournal of Virology, 2020
The BK polyomavirus (BKPyV) miRNA plays an important role in regulating viral large-T-antigen expression and limiting the replication of archetype BKPyV, suggesting that the miRNA regulates BKPyV persistence. However, how miRNA expression is regulated is poorly understood.

BK POLYOMAVIRUS-INFECTED DECOY CELLS IN URINE CYTOLOGY SPECIMENS OF RENAL TRANSPLANT RECIPIENTS

open access: yesThe Iraqi Journal of Medical Sciences, 2016
Background:BK polyomavirus is one of the common post-transplant viral infections, affecting ?15% of renal transplantation recipients (RTR), leading to graft loss in more than half of cases.

Prevalence of anti-BK polyomavirus IgG in A Sample of Iraqi renal transplant recipients

open access: yesDiyala Journal of Medicine, 2022
Background: BK virus, a human polyomavirus, causes nephropathy and allograft loss in renal transplant recipients. Although it was discovered in 1971, understanding of the humoral immune response to BKV is limited.

Transmission of Anellovirus From Kidney‐Donor to Pediatric Recipient: An Exploratory Study

open access: yesPediatric Transplantation, Volume 30, Issue 9, September 2026.
Donor‐to‐recipient anellovirus transmission occurred in 1 of 6 pediatric kidney transplant pairs, in a recipient with pre‐existing immunosuppression. The donor‐derived lineage became detectable 1 year after transplantation, indicating no meaningful contribution to early post‐transplant recipient TTV load and supporting continued research into TTV as an

A polyomavirus peptide binds to the capsid VP1 pore and has potent antiviral activity against BK and JC polyomaviruses

open access: yeseLife, 2020
In pursuit of therapeutics for human polyomaviruses, we identified a peptide derived from the BK polyomavirus (BKV) minor structural proteins VP2/3 that is a potent inhibitor of BKV infection with no observable cellular toxicity.

Recipient–Donor Sex Combinations and Posttransplant Infections: A Swiss Transplant Cohort Study

open access: yesTransplant Infectious Disease, Volume 28, Issue 5, September/October 2026.
In this cohort study of 5033 patients, only the recipient sex, in particularly kidney recipients, was independently associated with an increased risk of infections, when compared to males. These findings indicate that recipient–donor sex combination does not influence short‐term solid organ transplantation outcome.

Evaluation of Polyomavirus BK infection in oncogenic patients

open access: yes, 2019
<p>Polyomavirus BK, a double-stranded DNA virus, is a member of the Polyomaviridae family that is known to infect humans. Transmission of Polyomavirus BK occurs during childhood via oral or respiratory tracts.

BK Polyomavirus Genomic Integration and Large T Antigen Expression: Evolving Paradigms in Human Oncogenesis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017

A Snapshot of the UK Blood Donor Plasma Virome: A Retrospective Cross‐Sectional Cohort Study

open access: yesJournal of Medical Virology, Volume 98, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Estimates of population prevalence and genetic diversity of bloodborne viruses in healthy humans are essential to support population‐scale monitoring for transfusion transmission risk. In the UK and globally, blood donations are routinely screened for a limited number of high‐consequence pathogens, but the full composition of the plasma virome
