WU Polyomavirus in Respiratory Epithelial Cells from Lung Transplant Patient with Job Syndrome

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2015
We detected WU polyomavirus (WUPyV) in a bronchoalveolar lavage sample from lungs transplanted into a recipient with Job syndrome by using immunoassays specific for the WUPyV viral protein 1.

Whole-Genome Characterization and Genotyping of Global WU Polyomavirus Strains [PDF]

Journal of Virology, 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

WU Polyomavirus Associated with Severe Respiratory Failure in Children [PDF]

Open Forum Infectious Diseases, 2017
Abstract Background 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 characteristics of severe respiratory failure associated with WUPyV in children.

Newly described human polyomaviruses Merkel Cell, KI and WU are present in urban sewage and may represent potential environmental contaminants [PDF]

Virology Journal, 2010
Recently, three new polyomaviruses (KI, WU and Merkel cell polyomavirus) have been reported to infect humans. It has also been suggested that lymphotropic polyomavirus, a virus of simian origin, infects humans. KI and WU polyomaviruses have been detected

KI and WU Polyomaviruses and CD4+ Cell Counts in HIV-1–infected Patients, Italy [PDF]

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2010
To investigate an association between KI and WU polyomavirus (KIPyV and WUPyV) infections and CD4+ cell counts, we tested HIV-1–positive patients and blood donors.

WU and KI Polyomaviruses in Respiratory Samples from Allogeneic Hematopoietic Cell Transplant Recipients

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2012
Data are limited regarding 2 new human polyomaviruses, KI polyomavirus (KIPyV) and WU polyomavirus (WUPyV), in immunocompromised patients. We used real-time PCR to test for these and 12 respiratory viruses in 2,732 nasal wash samples collected during the

Age-related pattern of KI and WU polyomavirus infection

Journal of Clinical Virology, 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 in children with acute lower respiratory tract infections, China

Journal of Clinical Virology, 2008
WU polyomavirus (WUPyV), a new member of the genus of Polyomavirus in the family Polyomaviridae, has been found and associated with respiratory tract infections recently. However, its clinical role and pathogenicity has not been known.To confirm that WU polyomavirus has been found in Chinese children.WU polyomavirus was detected and identified using ...
