Identification of WU polyomavirus from pediatric patients with acute respiratory infections in Beijing, China. [PDF]

Arch Virol, 2010
A novel polyomavirus (WU virus) has been identified in pediatric patients with acute respiratory tract infections (ARI), but its role as a respiratory pathogen has not yet been demonstrated. To investigate if WU virus is related to acute respiratory infections in infants and children in Beijing, specimens collected from 674 pediatric patients with ARI ...

Acquisition of Human Polyomaviruses in the First 18 Months of Life

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2015
We investigated the presence of 4 human polyomaviruses (PyVs) (WU, KI, Merkel cell, and Malawi) in respiratory specimens from a community-based birth cohort. These viruses typically were acquired when children were ≈1 year of age.
