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.

BK POLYOMAVIRUS-INFECTED DECOY CELLS IN URINE CYTOLOGY SPECIMENS OF RENAL TRANSPLANT RECIPIENTS
Background:BK polyomavirus is one of the common post-transplant viral infections, affecting ?15% of renal transplantation recipients (RTR), leading to graft loss in more than half of cases.

Prevalence of anti-BK polyomavirus IgG in A Sample of Iraqi renal transplant recipients
Background: BK virus, a human polyomavirus, causes nephropathy and allograft loss in renal transplant recipients. Although it was discovered in 1971, understanding of the humoral immune response to BKV is limited.

Transmission of Anellovirus From Kidney‐Donor to Pediatric Recipient: An Exploratory Study
Donor‐to‐recipient anellovirus transmission occurred in 1 of 6 pediatric kidney transplant pairs, in a recipient with pre‐existing immunosuppression. The donor‐derived lineage became detectable 1 year after transplantation, indicating no meaningful contribution to early post‐transplant recipient TTV load and supporting continued research into TTV as an

In pursuit of therapeutics for human polyomaviruses, we identified a peptide derived from the BK polyomavirus (BKV) minor structural proteins VP2/3 that is a potent inhibitor of BKV infection with no observable cellular toxicity.

Recipient–Donor Sex Combinations and Posttransplant Infections: A Swiss Transplant Cohort Study
In this cohort study of 5033 patients, only the recipient sex, in particularly kidney recipients, was independently associated with an increased risk of infections, when compared to males. These findings indicate that recipient–donor sex combination does not influence short‐term solid organ transplantation outcome.

Evaluation of Polyomavirus BK infection in oncogenic patients
<p>Polyomavirus BK, a double-stranded DNA virus, is a member of the Polyomaviridae family that is known to infect humans. Transmission of Polyomavirus BK occurs during childhood via oral or respiratory tracts.

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

Absence of DNA viruses in ameloblastomas
Abstract Ameloblastomas (ABs) are rare odontogenic benign tumors. Although studies of the molecular pathogenesis have revealed the presence of mutations and altered gene expression, the etiology is unresolved. Viruses cause 10%–15 % of cancers, but their potential role within benign tumors is less studied.
