WU Polyomavirus in Children with Acute Lower Respiratory Tract Infections, South Korea
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2007 In South Korea, WU polyomavirus (WUPyV) was detected in 34 (7%) of 486 children with acute lower respiratory tract infections, 3 (4.2%) of 72 asymptomatic children, and as coinfection with other respiratory viruses in 23 (67.6%) children.

No evidence for WU polyomavirus infection in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
Infectious Agents and Cancer, 2009 Human polyomaviruses are known to cause persistent or latent infections, which are reactivated under immunosuppression. Polyomaviruses have been found to immortalize cell lines and to possess oncogenic properties. Moreover, the recently discovered Merkel

WU Polyomavirus in Children, Canada
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2007 WU polyomavirus was detected in nasopharyngeal aspirates in 2 (2.5%) of 79 children with respiratory infections (both infected with respiratory syncytial virus) and in 5 (6.4%) of 78 asymptomatic children during the same winter season in Canada.

Antibodies Can Extenuate Polyomavirus Infections. [PDF]
J Am Soc Nephrol, 2018 We read the article “Neutralizing antibody-mediated response and risk of BK virus–associated nephropathy” by Solis et al. [1][1] with great interest. Although a cell-mediated immune response is crucial for overcoming and clearing polyoma-BK virus infections and polyoma virus nephropathy ...

Microtubules in Polyomavirus Infection [PDF]
Viruses, 2020 Microtubules, part of the cytoskeleton, are indispensable for intracellular movement, cell division, and maintaining cell shape and polarity. In addition, microtubules play an important role in viral infection. In this review, we summarize the role of the microtubules’ network during polyomavirus infection.

Immunity to polyomavirus infection: The polyomavirus–mouse model [PDF]
Seminars in Cancer Biology, 2009 A ubiquitous clinically silent murine pathogen, polyomavirus has enjoyed long-term co-evolution with the mouse, a highly tractable and genetically and immunologically informative small animal model. Thus, polyomavirus has provided a valuable experimental construct to decipher the host immune mechanisms that come into play to control systemic low-level ...
