Secondary lymphoid tissue as an important site for WU polyomavirus infection in immunocompetent children. [PDF]

, 2011
The polyomaviruses KI and WU (KIPyV and WUPyV) have been identified in respiratory specimens from children with acute respiratory infections, which suggests the respiratory tract as a possible site of infection.

WU and KI Polyomaviruses in the Brains of HIV-Positive Patients With and Without Progressive Multifocal Leukoencephalopathy

, 2009
The polyomaviruses KI (KIPyV) and WU (WUPyV) were recently identified mainly in respiratory samples from children and immunosuppressed patients. Investigation of 54 autopsy brain tissue samples from 22 subjects demonstrated that WUPyV DNA and KIPyV DNA ...

Discovery and Characterization of Novel Polyomaviruses in Humans [PDF]

, 2014
The family Polyomaviridae is comprised of small, double-stranded DNA viruses of approximately 5,000 base pairs. Two polyomaviruses are well-established human pathogens and cause significant morbidity and mortality in immunocompromised patients.

Molecular epidemiology of KI and WU polyomaviruses in infants with acute respiratory disease and in adult hematopoietic stem cell transplant recipients.

, 2010
Polyomaviruses KI (KIPyV) and WU (WUPyV) were described recently in children with acute respiratory disease. The pathogenic potential of these human viruses has not been determined completely, but a correlation between immunosuppression and virus ...

Detection of KI WU and Merkel cell polyomavirus in respiratory tract of cystic fibrosis patients. [PDF]

, 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.

Complete genome sequence of a KI polyomavirus isolated from an otherwise healthy child with severe lower respiratory tract infection.

, 2017
Unbiased, deep sequencing of a nasal specimen from an otherwise healthy 13-month-old boy hospitalized in intensive care revealed high gene expression and the complete genome of a novel isolate of KI polyomavirus (KIPyV).

Evaluation of WU and KI polyomavirus frequency in samples of different populations attended in a tertiary hospital of Sao Paulo city.

, 2018
As infecções virais que acometem o trato respiratório são responsáveis por altas taxas de morbidade em todo o mundo. Estimase que adultos possam apresentar de uma a três infecções respiratórias agudas a cada ano.

Genetic variability of the small t antigen of the novel KI, WU and MC polyomaviruses

, 2010
Recently, three novel human polyomaviruses were discovered: KIPyV, WUPyV and MCPyV. To study the genetic variability of these viruses, an evolutionary analysis of the large T antigen, small t antigen, VP1, VP2 and VP3 genes was carried out.
