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.

Survey of KI, WU, MW, and STL Polyomavirus in Cancerous and Non-Cancerous Lung Tissues [PDF]
Pathobiology, 2017 <b><i>Background/Aims:</i></b> The pathogenesis of the human polyomavirus (PyV) KI, WU, MW, and STL has not been elucidated yet. Respiratory transmission is suggested, but the site of the replication, tissue, and cell tropism is not clarified.

Serologic Evidence of Frequent Human Infection with WU and KI Polyomaviruses
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2009 WU polyomavirus (WUPyV) and KI polyomavirus (KIPyV) are novel human polyomaviruses. They were originally identified in human respiratory secretions, but the extent of human infection caused by these viruses has not been described to date.

Detection of KI WU and Merkel cell polyomavirus in respiratory tract of cystic fibrosis patients [PDF]
Clinical Microbiology and Infection, 2015 In the last few years, many reports have confirmed the presence of WU, KI and Merkel cell (MC) polyomaviruses (PyV) in respiratory samples wordwide, but their pathogenic role in patients with underlying conditions such as cystic fibrosis is still debated.
