BACKGROUND: The recently described WU (WUV) and KI (KIV) polyomaviruses have been
primarily detected in respiratory samples, however other body sites have not been
extensively investigated to date. The related human polyomaviruses JCV and BKV in
contrast, have been detected in a wide range of sample types, leading to increased
knowledge about their biology and pathogenesis. OBJECTIVES: The aim of the study was to
investigate and compare the presence of JCV, BKV, WUV, and KIV in a variety of patient …
