Clinical epidemiology of bocavirus, rhinovirus, two polyomaviruses and four coronaviruses in HIV-infected and HIV-uninfected South African children. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
BackgroundAdvances in molecular diagnostics have implicated newly-discovered respiratory viruses in the pathogenesis of pneumonia. We aimed to determine the prevalence and clinical characteristics of human bocavirus (hBoV), human rhinovirus (hRV ...

KI and WU Polyomaviruses: Seroprevalence Study and DNA Prevalence in SARS-CoV-2 RNA Positive and Negative Respiratory Samples

Microorganisms, 2022
The aim of this work was to study the possible co-infection of KI and WU polyomavirus (KIPyV and WUPyV, respectively) and severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) in respiratory samples and to detect the seroprevalence of KIPyV and ...

Newly described human polyomaviruses Merkel Cell, KI and WU are present in urban sewage and may represent potential environmental contaminants

Virology Journal, 2010
Recently, three new polyomaviruses (KI, WU and Merkel cell polyomavirus) have been reported to infect humans. It has also been suggested that lymphotropic polyomavirus, a virus of simian origin, infects humans. KI and WU polyomaviruses have been detected

Infrequent detection of KI, WU and MC polyomaviruses in immunosuppressed individuals with or without progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2011
Conflicting prevalence of newly identified KI (KIPyV), WU (WUPyV) and Merkel Cell Carcinoma (MCPyV) polyomaviruses have been reported in progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) patient samples, ranging from 0 to 14.3%. We analyzed the prevalence

Human polyomaviruses in children undergoing transplantation, United States, 2008-2010 [PDF]

, 2012
Immunocompromised patients are at risk for disease caused by infection by some polyomaviruses. To define the prevalence of polyomaviruses in children undergoing transplantation, we collected samples from a longitudinal cohort and tested for the 9 known ...

Age-related pattern of KI and WU polyomavirus infection

Journal of Clinical Virology, 2008
The role of two recently identified polyomaviruses, KI and WU, in the causation of respiratory disease has not been established.To determine the prevalence of KI and WU viruses (KIV and WUV) in 371 respiratory samples and evaluate their contribution to respiratory disease.Specimens were screened for KIV and WUV using single, multiplex or real time PCR;

WU Polyomavirus in Patients Infected with HIV or Hepatitis C Virus, Connecticut, USA, 2007

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2009
WU polyomavirus (WUPyV) was detected in 10 (8.3%) of 121 HIV-positive plasma specimens, 0 (0%) of 120 HIV-negative serum specimens, and 2 (2.5%) of 79 hepatitis C virus (HCV)–positive serum specimens.

Prevalence of Respiratory Polyomaviruses Among Pediatric Patients With Respiratory Symptoms in Singapore

Frontiers in Pediatrics, 2018
Background: Although WU polyomavirus (WU) and KI polyomavirus (KI) have been demonstrated to infect the human respiratory tract, it remains unclear if WU or KI cause human disease.

WU and KI Polyomaviruses in Respiratory Samples from Allogeneic Hematopoietic Cell Transplant Recipients

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2012
Data are limited regarding 2 new human polyomaviruses, KI polyomavirus (KIPyV) and WU polyomavirus (WUPyV), in immunocompromised patients. We used real-time PCR to test for these and 12 respiratory viruses in 2,732 nasal wash samples collected during the
