Human Polyomavirus Reactivation: Disease Pathogenesis and Treatment Approaches
Journal of Immunology Research, Volume 2013, Issue 1, 2013., 2013 JC and BK polyomaviruses were discovered over 40 years ago and have become increasingly prevalent causes of morbidity and mortality in a variety of distinct, immunocompromised patient cohorts. The recent discoveries of eight new members of the Polyomaviridae family that are capable of infecting humans suggest that there are more to be discovered and ...

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).

Detection and characterization of two chimpanzee polyomavirus genotypes from different subspecies [PDF]
, 2010 The complete nucleotide sequences of three chimpanzee polyomavirus genetic variants were determined. Phylogenetic analysis indicated that the viruses form two different genotypes of ChPyV.

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.
