Risk Factors for the Development of BK Polyomavirus and Treatment Outcomes in Kidney Transplant Recipients: An 8-Year Retrospective Cohort Study. [PDF]
Nephrology (Carlton)ABSTRACT Background BKPyV‐DNAemia occurs in up to 30% of kidney transplant recipients (KTRs), with graft‐threatening BKPyV‐nephropathy in up to 10%. Risk factors for BKPyV‐DNAemia, BKPyV‐nephropathy, and associated graft loss are incompletely described.

Multiplex detection in tonsillar tissue of all known human polyomaviruses [PDF]
, 2017 Background: In the past few years, eleven new human viruses have joined the two previously known members JCPyV and BKPyV of the Polyomaviridae family, by virtue of molecular methods. Serology data suggest that infections with human polyomaviruses (HPyVs)
