Production of recombinant VP1-derived virus-like particles from novel human polyomaviruses in yeast [PDF]
Background: Eleven new human polyomaviruses (HPyVs) have been identified in the last decade. Serological studies show that these novel HPyVs sub-clinically infect humans at an early age.

BK virus‐associated urothelial carcinoma—A supra‐regional cohort of kidney transplant recipients
Abstract Objectives This study aims to study the clinical features, pathological findings, and outcomes of BK virus‐associated urothelial carcinoma (UC) in kidney transplant recipients (KTRs). Patients and Methods The study was conducted in a retrospective cohort of KTRs with histologically confirmed UC managed at a UK supra‐regional transplant urology

Assessing Host-Virus Codivergence for Close Relatives of Merkel Cell Polyomavirus Infecting African Great Apes [PDF]
It has long been hypothesized that polyomaviruses (PyV; family Polyomaviridae) codiverged with their animal hosts. In contrast, recent analyses suggested that codivergence may only marginally influence the evolution of PyV.

Discovery of a polyomavirus in European badgers (Meles meles) and the evolution of host range in the family Polyomaviridae [PDF]
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),

A metagenomic comparison of endemic viruses from broiler chickens with runting stunting syndrome and from normal birds [PDF]
Runting-stunting syndrome (RSS) in broiler chickens is an enteric disease that causes significant economic losses to poultry producers worldwide due to elevated feed conversion ratios, decreased body weight during growth, and excessive culling.

A Novel Virus Detected in Papillomas and Carcinomas of the Endangered Western Barred Bandicoot ( Perameles bougainville ) Exhibits Genomic Features of both the Papillomaviridae and Polyomaviridae [PDF]
ABSTRACT Conservation efforts to prevent the extinction of the endangered western barred bandicoot ( Perameles bougainville ) are currently hindered by a progressively debilitating cutaneous and mucocutaneous papillomatosis and carcinomatosis syndrome observed in captive and

Taking the Scenic Route: Polyomaviruses Utilize Multiple Pathways to Reach the Same Destination
Members of the Polyomaviridae family differ in their host range, pathogenesis, and disease severity. To date, some of the most studied polyomaviruses include human JC, BK, and Merkel cell polyomavirus and non-human subspecies murine and simian virus 40 ...

Evidence for a Structural Relationship between BRCT Domains and the Helicase Domains of the Replication Initiators Encoded by thePolyomaviridaeandPapillomaviridaeFamilies of DNA Tumor Viruses [PDF]
ABSTRACTStudies of DNA tumor viruses have provided important insights into fundamental cellular processes and oncogenic transformation. They have revealed, for example, that upon expression of virally encoded proteins, cellular pathways involved in DNA repair and cell cycle control are disrupted.

Role of BK human polyomavirus in cancer
Human polyomaviruses (HPyV), which are small DNA viruses classified into the polyomaviridae family, are widely distributed in human populations. Thirteen distinct HPyVs have been described to date.
