Polyomaviruses in blood donors:Detection, prevalence and blood safety [PDF]

, 2022
Polyomaviruses are a family of viruses with a small genome, wrapped in a viral particle with a diameter of 40-45 nanometres. Polyomaviruses are able to persist in the human body. This means that a person, once infected, does not lose the virus despite an

Structural implications of BK polyomavirus sequence variations in the major viral capsid protein Vp1 and large T-antigen: a computational study

mSphere
BK polyomavirus (BKPyV) is a double-stranded DNA virus causing nephropathy, hemorrhagic cystitis, and urothelial cancer in transplant patients. The BKPyV-encoded capsid protein Vp1 and large T-antigen (LTag) are key targets of neutralizing antibodies and

BKTyper: Free Online Tool for Polyoma BK Virus VP1 and NCCR Typing

Viruses, 2020
Human BK polyomavirus (BKPyV) prevalence has been increasing due to the introduction of more potent immunosuppressive agents in transplant recipients, and its clinical interest. BKPyV has been linked mostly to polyomavirus-associated hemorrhagic cystitis,

Multiplex analysis of Human Polyomavirus diversity in kidney transplant recipients with BK virus replication [PDF]

, 2019
Background: While the pathogenicity of the two initially identified Human Polyomaviruses (HPyVs), BK Virus (BKPyV) and JC Virus (JCPyV) has been intensely studied, there is only limited data, on whether the occurrence of the recently discovered HPyVs ...

Risk Prediction and Management of BKPyV-DNAemia in Kidney Transplant Recipients: A Multicenter Analysis of Immunosuppressive Strategies. [PDF]

Transpl Int
BK polyomavirus (BKPyV) DNAemia remains a major complication in kidney transplantation (KT), requiring nuanced adjustments to immunosuppressive regimens to control viral replication while minimizing rejection risk. This retrospective multicenter cohort study included 8,027 KT recipients, of whom 1,102 developed BKPyV-DNAemia within the first year ...

Torque teno virus as a marker of immune status in immunocompromised patients: A systematic review

European Journal of Clinical Investigation, Volume 55, Issue 8, August 2025.
Abstract Background Torque teno virus (TTV) is not known to cause disease in humans; however, chronic inflammatory conditions and immunosuppression states can favour TTV replication. This study aimed to verify the effectiveness of TTV as an immune biomarker.
