Serologic evidence of frequent human infection with WU and KI polyomaviruses [PDF]
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.

Prevalence of Polyomaviruses in Polish patients [PDF]
Current Issues in Pharmacy and Medical Sciences, 2014 The aim of our study was to investigate the prevalence of new polyomaviruses KIPyV and WUPyV in the Polish population in the Lublin region. In it, we demonstrated that the prevalence of this viruses is low - 1.1% WU and 3.4% KI.

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%.

Newly discovered KI, WU, and Merkel cell polyomaviruses: No evidence of mother-to-fetus transmission [PDF]
Virology Journal, 2010 Background Three* human polyomaviruses have been discovered recently, KIPyV, WUPyV and MCPyV. These viruses appear to circulate ubiquitously; however, their clinical significance beyond Merkel cell carcinoma is almost completely unknown.

DNA from KI, WU and Merkel cell polyomaviruses is not detected in childhood central nervous system tumours or neuroblastomas. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2009 BACKGROUND: BK and JC polyomaviruses (BKV and JCV) are potentially oncogenic and have in the past inconclusively been associated with tumours of the central nervous system (CNS), while BKV has been hinted, but not confirmed to be associated with ...
