WU Polyomavirus Infection in Children, Germany [PDF]
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2008 To the Editor: The human polyomaviruses JC and BK are known to cause persisting infections, which are usually asymptomatic in immunocompetent patients but may lead to severe disease in those who are immunosuppressed (1). Recently, 2 novel viruses of the family Polyomaviridae were detected in respiratory samples and named KI (2) and WU polyomavirus ...

WU Polyomavirus in Fecal Specimens of Children with Acute Gastroenteritis, China [PDF]
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2009 To the Editor: WU polyomavirus (WUPyV) is a recently described PyV found in patients with acute respiratory tract infections (1). The role of the virus in disease pathogenesis remains unclear. The ability to detect it in clinical specimens would help in the determination of its replication sites and its routes of transmission and dissemination.

No evidence for WU polyomavirus infection in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease [PDF]
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
