WU Polyomavirus (WUPyV): A Recently Detected Virus Causing Respiratory Disease? [PDF]
Viruses, 2009 The WU polyomavirus (WUPyV) is a novel member of the family Polyomaviridae recently detected in respiratory tract specimens by shotgun sequencing. Intriguingly, viral genome has been detected in 0.4% to 11.5% of respiratory tract specimens from children ...

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

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
