Quantitative microbial risk assessment with microbial source tracking for enteric pathogens in southwest Wisconsin private wells

Journal of Environmental Quality, Volume 55, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
Abstract Private wells supply drinking water for many households, and their contamination by fecal microbes presents a risk of acute gastrointestinal illness (AGI). Risk is thought to vary by contaminating fecal source, but specific associations with fecal source are unknown for most private wells in the United States. This study characterizes AGI risk

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.

Unveiling Novel Viral Diversity, Biogeography, and Host Networks in Wildlife Through High‐Throughput Sequencing Data Mining

Advanced Science, Volume 12, Issue 46, December 11, 2025.
Analysis of 57 536 high‐throughput sequencing datasets uncovers a vast, hidden world of viruses in wildlife. The researchers reveal significant geographic and host‐specific patterns of viruses, and their surprising cross‐species transmissions, such as avian flu viruses infecting goats.

Role of Human Polyomaviruses in Respiratory Tract Disease in Young Children

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2008
KI virus was detected in respiratory secretions of 8/367 (2.2%) symptomatic and 0/96 asymptomatic children (p = 0.215). WU virus was detected in 26/367 (7.1%) symptomatic and 6/96 (6.3%) asymptomatic children (p = 1.00).

Detection of KI WU and Merkel cell polyomavirus in respiratory tract of cystic fibrosis patients [PDF]

Clinical Microbiology and Infection, 2015
In the last few years, many reports have confirmed the presence of WU, KI and Merkel cell (MC) polyomaviruses (PyV) in respiratory samples wordwide, but their pathogenic role in patients with underlying conditions such as cystic fibrosis is still debated.

The Prognosis of Urothelial Carcinoma Between Kidney Transplantation Recipients and Normal Patients: A Propensity Score‐Matched Study

Cancer Medicine, Volume 14, Issue 23, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Objective To evaluate the difference in the characteristics and prognosis between kidney transplantation (KT) recipients and normal patients with urothelial carcinoma. Method We retrospectively reviewed the characteristics of the kidney‐transplanted patients and the general patients who were diagnosed with urothelial carcinoma between 2013 and

CRISPR Technology in Disease Management: An Updated Review of Clinical Translation and Therapeutic Potential

Cell Proliferation, Volume 58, Issue 11, November 2025.
CRISPR‐Cas systems offer transformative genome editing capabilities for precise manipulation of cellular genes. This enables two main therapeutic avenues: ex vivo modification of patient cells for re‐transplantation or direct in vivo gene targeting via advanced delivery methods.

Long‐Term Outcomes of BK Viremia in Kidney Transplant Recipients

Clinical Transplantation, Volume 39, Issue 10, October 2025.
ABSTRACT Background BK viremia is associated with worse kidney transplant function and de novo donor‐specific antibodies (DSA), but mortality and graft survival are not impacted in the short‐ and intermediate‐term. The long‐term impact of BK viremia remains unclear.
