Serologic Evidence of Frequent Human Infection with WU and KI Polyomaviruses
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2009 WU polyomavirus (WUPyV) and KI polyomavirus (KIPyV) are novel human polyomaviruses. They were originally identified in human respiratory secretions, but the extent of human infection caused by these viruses has not been described to date.

Survey of KI, WU, MW, and STL Polyomavirus in Cancerous and Non-Cancerous Lung Tissues [PDF]
Pathobiology, 2017 <b><i>Background/Aims:</i></b> The pathogenesis of the human polyomavirus (PyV) KI, WU, MW, and STL has not been elucidated yet. Respiratory transmission is suggested, but the site of the replication, tissue, and cell tropism is not clarified.

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

WU polyomavirus detected in children with severe respiratory failure
Journal of Clinical Virology, 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 ...

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.
