The Role of Viruses in Cellular Transformation and Cancer. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Background Viral infections are established contributors to oncogenesis, leading to significant public health challenges. This systematic review aims to synthesize current knowledge on the mechanisms of viral cellular transformation and their association with various cancers.

JC and Human polyomavirus 9 after kidney transplantation: an exploratory serological cohort study [PDF]
Introduction: Human polyomaviruses (HPyVs) cause disease in immunocompromised patients. BK polyomavirus (BKPyV) for instance persistently infects the kidneys. In kidney transplant recipients, (KTRs) BKPyV can cause allograft nephropathy.

Intercellular Transmission of Naked Viruses through Extracellular Vesicles: Focus on Polyomaviruses
Extracellular vesicles have recently emerged as a novel mode of viral transmission exploited by naked viruses to exit host cells through a nonlytic pathway.

Genetic Diversity of the Noncoding Control Region of the Novel Human Polyomaviruses
The genomes of polyomaviruses are characterized by their tripartite organization with an early region, a late region and a noncoding control region (NCCR).

Human polyomaviruses and cancer: an overview
The name of the family Polyomaviridae, derives from the early observation that cells infected with murine polyomavirus induced multiple (poly) tumors (omas) in immunocompromised mice. Subsequent studies showed that many members of this family exhibit the

Prevalence of DNA of fourteen human polyomaviruses determined in blood donors
Abstract BACKGROUND Human polyomaviruses (HPyVs), like herpesviruses, cause persistent infection in a large part of the population. In immunocompromised and elderly patients, PyVs cause severe diseases such as nephropathy (BK polyomavirus [BKPyV]), progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (JC polyomavirus [JCPyV]), and skin cancer (Merkel cell ...

Multiplex detection in tonsillar tissue of all known human polyomaviruses
Background In the past few years, eleven new human viruses have joined the two previously known members JCPyV and BKPyV of the Polyomaviridae family, by virtue of molecular methods.

AbstractBackgroundThe discovery, from 2007, of eight new human polyomaviruses (HPyVs) has revived interest in the Polyomaviridae family and their association with human diseases and cancer. In particular, HPyV6 and HPyV7 were discovered in skin swabs of healthy donors and TSPyV was discovered in a heart transplant recipient affected by virus‐associated

Comparing Effects of BK Virus Agnoprotein and Herpes Simplex‐1 ICP47 on MHC‐I and MHC‐II Expression
Background. Among human polyomaviruses, only BK virus (BKV) and JC virus (JCV) encode an agnoprotein upstream of VP1 on the viral late transcript. BKV agnoprotein is abundantly expressed late in the viral life cycle, but specific cellular and humoral immune responses are low or absent.
