WU polyomavirus detected in children with severe respiratory failure. [PDF]

J Clin Virol, 2018
WU polyomavirus (WUPyV) is a relatively new virus associated with respiratory infections. However, its role is unclear in children with severe respiratory failure.We aimed to evaluate the characteristics of severe respiratory failure associated with WUPyV infection in children.We retrospectively reviewed cases of respiratory tract infection at a ...

WU Polyomavirus Infection in Children With Acute Lower Respiratory Tract Infections in China, 2017 to 2019: Case Reports and Multicentre Epidemiological Survey [PDF]

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2022
WU polyomavirus (WUPyV) is a novel member of the family Polyomaviridae recently detected in respiratory tract specimens. So far, it has not been proven whether WUPyV is a real causative agent for respiratory diseases.

Whole-genome characterization and genotyping of global WU polyomavirus strains. [PDF]

J Virol, 2010
ABSTRACT Exploration of the genetic diversity of WU polyomavirus (WUV) has been limited in terms of the specimen numbers and particularly the sizes of the genomic fragments analyzed. Using whole-genome sequencing of 48 WUV strains collected in four continents over a 5-year period and 16 publicly available whole-genome sequences, we identified

KI and WU Polyomavirus detection in tonsils of immunocompetent patients

Microbiologia Medica, 2010
The Polyomaviruses KI and WU have been identified in 2007 in nasopharyngeal aspirates of patients with acute respiratory tract infections.They have been further isolated in faecal samples, lymphoid tissue, bronchoalveolar lavages and blood, although ...

Age-related pattern of KI and WU polyomavirus infection. [PDF]

J Clin Virol, 2008
The role of two recently identified polyomaviruses, KI and WU, in the causation of respiratory disease has not been established.To determine the prevalence of KI and WU viruses (KIV and WUV) in 371 respiratory samples and evaluate their contribution to respiratory disease.Specimens were screened for KIV and WUV using single, multiplex or real time PCR;

WU polyomavirus detected in respiratory tract specimens from young children in Japan. [PDF]

Pediatr Int, 2013
AbstractPolyomaviruses (PyV) WU and KI are reportedly associated with respiratory tract disease (RTD) worldwide but their incidence is unclear in Japan. In a 2 year prospective study, WU/KIPyV were detected in 48 (13.9%) and in five (1.4%) of 345 children hospitalized with lower RTD, respectively.

Complete Genome Sequence of a Novel Human WU Polyomavirus Isolate Associated with Acute Respiratory Infection. [PDF]

Genome Announc, 2016
ABSTRACT We report here the complete genome sequence of a WU polyomavirus (WUPyV) isolate, NM040708, collected from a patient with an acute respiratory infection in New Mexico. The double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) genome of NM040708 is 5,229 bp in length and differs from the WUPyV reference with accession no. NC_009539 by 6 nucleotides and 2 amino
