Introduction: : BK polyoma virus nephropathy represents one of the non-immunological causes of renal graft loss with a cumulative incidence between 5 and 10 percent, and a graft loss rate on BK virus nephropathy patients that ranges from 30 to 90 percent

A Case Control Study Reveals that Polyomaviruria Is Significantly Associated with Interstitial Cystitis and Vesical Ulceration. [PDF]
To investigate whether polyomaviruses contribute to interstitial cystitis pathogenesis.A prospective study was performed with 50 interstitial cystitis cases compared with 50 age-matched, disease-free controls for the frequency of polyomaviruria ...

Complete genome sequence of BK polyomavirus subtype Ib-1 detected in a kidney transplant patient with BK viremia using shotgun sequencing [PDF]
We report here the complete genome sequence of polyomavirus BK subtype Ib-1, isolate AR11, identified in urine from a human kidney transplant recipient with a clinical diagnosis of BK viremia. The AR11 isolate is closely related to reference strain human

Phylogenetic Analysis of Polyomavirus BK Sequences [PDF]
ABSTRACT Polyomavirus BK (BKV) has emerged as an important pathogen in kidney transplant patients. Existing taxonomic classifications of BKV come from conventional DNA sequence alignments based on limited data derived from the VP1 gene. We have used a phylogenetic whole-genome approach to examine the pattern of diversity and evolutionary ...

Optimized amplification of BK polyomavirus in urine
BK polyomavirus (BKPyV) is a ubiquitous pathogen that typically results in asymptomatic infection. However, in immunocompromised individuals, BKPyV viral shedding in the urine can reach 109 copies per mL. These high viral levels within urine provide ideal samples for next-generation sequencing to accurately determine BKPyV genotype and identify ...

The complete genome sequence BK polyomavirus study in kidney transplanted patients [PDF]
Background: BK polyomavirus is a member of the Polyomaviridae. This virus has spread worldwide and up to 82% of the world populations are serologically positive. BK polyomavirus usually transmits through inhalation or fecal-oral way in childhood, as well

Different behaviour of BK-virus infection in liver transplant recipients [PDF]
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 ...

The Agnogene of the Human Polyomavirus BK Is Expressed [PDF]
ABSTRACT Primate polyomavirus genomes all contain an open reading frame at the 5′ end of the late coding region called the agnogene. A simian virus 40 agnoprotein with unknown functions has previously been demonstrated. We now show that a BK virus agnoprotein appears in the perinuclear area and cytoplasm late in the infectious cycle.

EFFICIENT PROPAGATION OF ARCHETYPE JC POLYOMAVIRUS IN COS-7 CELLS: EVALUATION OF REARRANGEMENTS WITHIN NCCR STRUCTURAL ORGANIZATION DURING TRANSFECTION. [PDF]
John Cunningham virus (JCPyV) is an ubiqui-tous human pathogen that causes disease in immunocom-promised patients. The JCPyV genome is composed of an early region and a late region, which are physically sepa-rated by the ...
