ICTV Virus Taxonomy Profile: Polyomaviridae
Journal of General Virology, 2017 The Polyomaviridae is a family of small, non-enveloped viruses with circular dsDNA genomes of approximately 5 kbp. The family includes four genera whose members have restricted host range, infecting mammals and birds. Polyomavirus genomes have also been detected recently in fish.

Review on the Relationship between Human Polyomaviruses-Associated Tumors and Host Immune System
Clinical and Developmental Immunology, 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)

Exploring the Enteric Virome of Cats with Acute Gastroenteritis
Veterinary Sciences, 2023 Viruses are a major cause of acute gastroenteritis (AGE) in cats, chiefly in younger animals. Enteric specimens collected from 29 cats with acute enteritis and 33 non-diarrhoeic cats were screened in PCRs and reverse transcription (RT) PCR for a large ...

Insights into Polyomaviridae MicroRNA Function Derived from Study of the Bandicoot Papillomatosis Carcinomatosis Viruses [PDF]
Journal of Virology, 2011 ABSTRACT Several different members of the Polyomaviridae , including some human pathogens, encode microRNAs (miRNAs) that lie antisense with respect to the early gene products, the tumor (T) antigens. These miRNAs negatively regulate T antigen expression by directing small interfering RNA (siRNA)-like ...

The rapidly expanding family of human polyomaviruses: recent developments in understanding their life cycle and role in human pathology. [PDF]
PLoS Pathogens, 2013 Since their discovery in 1971, the polyomaviruses JC (JCPyV) and BK (BKPyV), isolated from patients with progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy and polyomavirus-associated nephropathy, respectively, remained for decades as the only known members of ...

Different behaviour of BK-virus infection in liver transplant recipients [PDF]
, 2016 Polyomavirus BK (BKV) infects up to 90% of the general population. After primary infection, occurring early during childhood, a state of non-replicative infection is established in the reno-urinary tract, without complications for immunocompetent hosts ...
