WU Polyomavirus in Patients Infected with HIV or Hepatitis C Virus, Connecticut, USA, 2007

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2009
WU polyomavirus (WUPyV) was detected in 10 (8.3%) of 121 HIV-positive plasma specimens, 0 (0%) of 120 HIV-negative serum specimens, and 2 (2.5%) of 79 hepatitis C virus (HCV)–positive serum specimens.

Review on the Relationship between Human Polyomaviruses‐Associated Tumors and Host Immune System

Journal of Immunology Research, Volume 2012, Issue 1, 2012., 2012
The polyomaviruses are small DNA viruses that can establish latency in the human host. The name polyomavirus is derived from the Greek roots poly‐, which means “many,” and ‐oma, which means “tumours.” These viruses were originally isolated in mouse (mPyV) and in monkey (SV40).

Human Polyomaviruses in Skin Diseases

Pathology Research International, Volume 2011, Issue 1, 2011., 2011
Polyomaviruses are a family of small, nonenveloped viruses with a circular double‐stranded DNA genome of ~5,000 base pairs protected by an icosahedral protein structure. So far, members of this family have been identified in birds and mammals. Until 2006, BK virus (BKV), JC virus (JCV), and simian virus 40 (SV40) were the only polyomaviruses known to ...

Silencing Viral MicroRNA as a Novel Antiviral Therapy?

BioMed Research International, Volume 2009, Issue 1, 2009., 2009
Viruses are intracellular parasites that ensure their existence by converting host cells into viral particle producing entities or into hiding places rendering the virus invisible to the host immune system. Some viruses may also survive by transforming the infected cell into an immortal tumour cell.

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.

Newly discovered KI, WU, and Merkel cell polyomaviruses: No evidence of mother-to-fetus transmission

Virology Journal, 2010
Background Three* human polyomaviruses have been discovered recently, KIPyV, WUPyV and MCPyV. These viruses appear to circulate ubiquitously; however, their clinical significance beyond Merkel cell carcinoma is almost completely unknown.

Prevalence of Polyomaviruses in Polish patients

Current Issues in Pharmacy and Medical Sciences, 2014
The aim of our study was to investigate the prevalence of new polyomaviruses KIPyV and WUPyV in the Polish population in the Lublin region. In it, we demonstrated that the prevalence of this viruses is low - 1.1% WU and 3.4% KI.

Antibody responses to common viruses according to COVID‐19 severity and postacute sequelae of COVID‐19

Journal of Medical Virology, Volume 96, Issue 9, September 2024.
Abstract Limited research suggests that certain viruses reactivate in severe‐acute‐respiratory‐syndrome‐coronavirus 2 infection, contributing to the development of postacute sequelae of COVID‐19 (PASC). We examined 1083 infected individuals from a population‐based cohort, and assessed differences in plasma immunoglobulin (Ig)G and immunoglobulin A ...
