WUPyV in Children with Acute Respiratory Tract Infections, China
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2010 To the Editor: WU polyomavirus (WUPyV) is a human polyomavirus first detected in respiratory samples in 2007 (1). It has since been detected worldwide (2–7), including the People’s Republic of China (8), but whether it is a causative respiratory pathogen remains speculative.

Duplex real-time polymerase chain reaction assay for the detection of human KIPyV and WUPyV in nasopharyngeal aspirate pediatric samples [PDF]
Molecular and Cellular Probes, 2018 In this study, we describe a duplex real-time PCR assay for the simultaneous detection of KIPyV and WUPyV polyomaviruses based on TaqMan probes. This assay detected 500 copies/mL both for KIPyV and WUPyV in 100% of tested positive samples. We assessed this technique on 482 nasopharyngeal aspirate specimens from hospitalized pediatric patients with ...

Novel human polyomaviruses in pregnancy: Higher prevalence of BKPyV, but no WUPyV, KIPyV and HPyV9 [PDF]
Journal of Clinical Virology, 2012 Immunosuppression due to pregnancy may lead to higher susceptibility to infections and reactivation of latent infections, such as BK polyomavirus (BKPyV). There is lack of information about the prevalence of novel human polyomavirus 9 (HPyV9), WU (WUPyV) and KI (KIPyV) during pregnancy.To study whether pregnancy results in higher prevalence of HPyV9 ...
