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 ...

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 ...

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.

Polyoma BK virus: an emerging opportunistic infectious agent of the human central nervous system
Brazilian Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2011 BK virus, a double-stranded DNA virus, is a member of the Polyomaviridae family which is known to infect humans. Clinical evidence of disease is mostly encountered in immunosuppressed individuals such as AIDS patients or those who undergo renal or bone ...

Clinical and Epidemiologic Characterization of WU Polyomavirus Infection, St. Louis, Missouri
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2007 WU polyomavirus is a recently described polyomavirus found in patients with respiratory infections. Of 2,637 respiratory samples tested in St. Louis, Missouri, 2.7% were positive for WU polyomavirus by PCR, and 71% were coinfected with other respiratory ...

Review on the role of the human Polyomavirus JC in the development of tumors [PDF]
, 2017 Almost one fifth of human cancers worldwide are associated with infectious agents, either bacteria or viruses, and this makes the possible association between infections and tumors a relevant research issue.

Discovery of a polyomavirus in European badgers (Meles meles) and the evolution of host range in the family Polyomaviridae [PDF]
Journal of General Virology, 2015 Polyomaviruses infect a diverse range of mammalian and avian hosts, and are associated with a variety of symptoms. However, it is unknown whether the viruses are found in all mammalian families and the evolutionary history of the polyomaviruses is still unclear. Here, we report the discovery of a novel polyomavirus in the European badger (Meles meles),
