Polyomavirus Wakes Up and Chooses Neurovirulence
Viruses, 2023 JC polyomavirus (JCPyV) is a human-specific polyomavirus that establishes a silent lifelong infection in multiple peripheral organs, predominantly those of the urinary tract, of immunocompetent individuals.

Serological cross-reactivity between Merkel cell polyomavirus and two closely related chimpanzee polyomaviruses. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Phylogenetic analyses based on the major capsid protein sequence indicate that Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCPyV) and chimpanzee polyomaviruses (PtvPyV1, PtvPyV2), and similarly Trichodysplasia spinulosa-associated polyomavirus (TSPyV) and the orangutan ...

The Agnogene of the Human Polyomavirus BK Is Expressed [PDF]
Journal of Virology, 1998 ABSTRACT Primate polyomavirus genomes all contain an open reading frame at the 5′ end of the late coding region called the agnogene. A simian virus 40 agnoprotein with unknown functions has previously been demonstrated. We now show that a BK virus agnoprotein appears in the perinuclear area and cytoplasm late in the infectious cycle.

Taking the Scenic Route: Polyomaviruses Utilize Multiple Pathways to Reach the Same Destination
Viruses, 2020 Members of the Polyomaviridae family differ in their host range, pathogenesis, and disease severity. To date, some of the most studied polyomaviruses include human JC, BK, and Merkel cell polyomavirus and non-human subspecies murine and simian virus 40 ...

Human polyomavirus JC virus genome [PDF]
Journal of Virology, 1984 The complete DNA sequence of the human JC virus, which was found to consist of 5,130 nucleotide pairs, is presented. The amino acid sequence of six proteins could be deduced: the early, nonstructural proteins, large T and small t antigens; the late capsid proteins, VP1, VP2, and VP3; and the agnogene product encoded within the late leader sequence ...

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

A Divergent Variant of the Eleventh Human Polyomavirus Species, Saint Louis Polyomavirus [PDF]
Genome Announcements, 2013 ABSTRACT Saint Louis polyomavirus (STLPyV) was recently discovered in human feces. Using random-primed rolling circle amplification combined with deep sequencing, we have found a divergent variant of STLPyV in a sanitized human skin wart specimen.

Novel Respiratory Virus Infections in Children, Brazil
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2009 Recently discovered respiratory viruses were detected in 19 (9.2%) of 205 nasal swab specimens from children in Brazil with respiratory illnesses. Five each were positive for human metapneumovirus (HMPV) alone and human bocavirus (HBoV) alone, 3 for ...
