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 ...

MISSEL: a method to identify a large number of small species-specific genomic subsequences and its application to viruses classification [PDF]
, 2016 Continuous improvements in next generation sequencing technologies led to ever-increasing collections of genomic sequences, which have not been easily characterized by biologists, and whose analysis requires huge computational effort.

Human Polyomavirus Reactivation: Disease Pathogenesis and Treatment Approaches
Journal of Immunology Research, Volume 2013, Issue 1, 2013., 2013 JC and BK polyomaviruses were discovered over 40 years ago and have become increasingly prevalent causes of morbidity and mortality in a variety of distinct, immunocompromised patient cohorts. The recent discoveries of eight new members of the Polyomaviridae family that are capable of infecting humans suggest that there are more to be discovered and ...

Newly discovered KI, WU, and Merkel cell polyomaviruses: No evidence of mother-to-fetus transmission
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.

Review on the Relationship between Human Polyomaviruses‐Associated Tumors and Host Immune System
Journal of Immunology Research, Volume 2012, Issue 1, 2012., 2012 The polyomaviruses are small DNA viruses that can establish latency in the human host. The name polyomavirus is derived from the Greek roots poly‐, which means “many,” and ‐oma, which means “tumours.” These viruses were originally isolated in mouse (mPyV) and in monkey (SV40).

Polyomaviruses in blood donors:Detection, prevalence and blood safety [PDF]
, 2022 Polyomaviruses are a family of viruses with a small genome, wrapped in a viral particle with a diameter of 40-45 nanometres. Polyomaviruses are able to persist in the human body. This means that a person, once infected, does not lose the virus despite an

Detection and characterization of two chimpanzee polyomavirus genotypes from different subspecies [PDF]
, 2010 The complete nucleotide sequences of three chimpanzee polyomavirus genetic variants were determined. Phylogenetic analysis indicated that the viruses form two different genotypes of ChPyV.

Human Polyomaviruses in Skin Diseases
Pathology Research International, Volume 2011, Issue 1, 2011., 2011 Polyomaviruses are a family of small, nonenveloped viruses with a circular double‐stranded DNA genome of ~5,000 base pairs protected by an icosahedral protein structure. So far, members of this family have been identified in birds and mammals. Until 2006, BK virus (BKV), JC virus (JCV), and simian virus 40 (SV40) were the only polyomaviruses known to ...
