Neurocan expression associates with better survival and viral positivity in Merkel cell carcinoma.

PLoS ONE, 2023
Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is a rare cutaneous neuroendocrine carcinoma that is frequently divided into Merkel cell polyomavirus negative and positive tumors due their distinct genomic and transcriptomic profiles, and disease outcomes.

Inflammatory Monocytes Are a Reservoir for Merkel Cell Polyomavirus [PDF]

Journal of Investigative Dermatology, 2010
Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCPyV) is a recently discovered virus that is implicated in the oncogenesis of Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC). The route of dissemination and the reservoir(s) of MCPyV within the human body have not yet been identified. In this study we describe two patients with multiple MCPyV-positive inflammatory and neoplastic skin lesions at

Diagnostic Methods for and Clinical Pictures of Polyomavirus Primary Infections in Children, Finland

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2014
We used comprehensive serodiagnostic methods (IgM, IgG, and IgG avidity) and PCR to study Merkel cell polyomavirus and trichodysplasia spinulosa-associated polyomavirus infections in children observed from infancy to adolescence. Comparing seroconversion

Merkel cell carcinoma: an updated guide for pathologists

Histopathology, EarlyView.
Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is an aggressive cutaneous neuroendocrine carcinoma for which the differential diagnosis can include other small cell malignancies (especially metastatic small cell carcinoma) or cutaneous carcinoma. Morphologic and immunophenotypic aberrancies in MCC can increase diagnostic challenge.

Burden and Correlates of Multiple Chronic Infections and Their Associations With Cancer Incidence in Chinese Adults: A Large Case‐Cohort Study

International Journal of Cancer, Volume 159, Issue 5, Page 1282-1295, 1 September 2026.
While several oncogenic pathogens cause site‐specific cancers, uncertainties remain about many other chronic infections and combined pathogen effects, especially in non‐Western populations. Using a large case–cohort study nested within the China Kadoorie Biobank, the authors found that co‐infection was common, with a mean of 10 pathogens per individual.

A Snapshot of the UK Blood Donor Plasma Virome: A Retrospective Cross‐Sectional Cohort Study

Journal of Medical Virology, Volume 98, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Estimates of population prevalence and genetic diversity of bloodborne viruses in healthy humans are essential to support population‐scale monitoring for transfusion transmission risk. In the UK and globally, blood donations are routinely screened for a limited number of high‐consequence pathogens, but the full composition of the plasma virome
