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.

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 ...

WU polyomavirus in children with acute lower respiratory tract infections, China [PDF]

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 ...

Molecular characterization of WU polyomavirus strain isolated from patients with breast cancer [PDF]

Egyptian Journal of Cancer and Biomedical Research
Background: Polyomaviruses (PyV) are small, circular, non-enveloped viruses with a diameter of about 40–50 nm, and have a double-stranded DNA molecule descended from the Polyomaviridae family.

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 ...

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

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 Associated with Severe Respiratory Failure in Children [PDF]

Open Forum Infect Dis, 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.
