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.

Frequent detection of human polyomavirus 6 in keratoacanthomas. [PDF]
Diagn Pathol, 2016 The recent discovery of the Merkel cell polyomavirus and its consistent association with Merkel cell carcinoma has drawn attention to the numerous recently discovered polyomaviruses and their possible involvement in the etiopathogenesis of non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC). Data on the recently discovered human polyomavirus 6 (HPyV6) and its role in NMSC

Identification of a novel human polyomavirus in organs of the gastrointestinal tract.
PLoS ONE, 2013 Polyomaviruses are small, non-enveloped viruses with a circular double-stranded DNA genome. Using a generic polyomavirus PCR targeting the VP1 major structural protein gene, a novel polyomavirus was initially identified in resected human liver tissue and

Current In Vitro and In Vivo Models to Study MCPyV-Associated MCC
Viruses, 2022 Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCPyV) is the only human polyomavirus currently known to cause human cancer. MCPyV is believed to be an etiological factor in at least 80% of cases of the rare but aggressive skin malignancy Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC). In these

Human polyomaviruses and cancer: an overview
Clinics, 2018 The name of the family Polyomaviridae, derives from the early observation that cells infected with murine polyomavirus induced multiple (poly) tumors (omas) in immunocompromised mice. Subsequent studies showed that many members of this family exhibit the
