    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyomaviridae

    Polyomaviridae is a family of viruses whose natural hosts are primarily mammals and birds. [1] [2] As of 2024, there are eight recognized genera. [3]Fourteen species are known to infect humans, while others, such as Simian Virus 40, have been identified in humans to a lesser extent.

  3. WU polyomavirus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WU_polyomavirus

    WU polyomavirus (also known as WU virus, WUPyV, or Human polyomavirus 4) is a virus of the family Polyomaviridae.It was discovered in 2007 in samples of human respiratory secretions, originally from a child patient in Australia who presented with clinical signs of pneumonia and in whom other common respiratory viruses were not detected.

    Infusion of donor T cells specific to the related BK polyomavirus has shown possible effect in treating PML in one small study by Katy Rezvani's group, but needs further study. [25] In December 2021, Cellevolve announced it is launching a clinical trial for the treatment of PML utilizing BK virus specific T-cells (VSTs). [26]

  5. Merkel cell polyomavirus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merkel_cell_polyomavirus

    Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCV or MCPyV) was first described in January 2008 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. [1] It was the first example of a human viral pathogen discovered using unbiased metagenomic next-generation sequencing with a technique called digital transcriptome subtraction. [2]

  6. Human polyomavirus 2 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_polyomavirus_2

    Human polyomavirus 2, commonly referred to as the JC virus or John Cunningham virus, is a type of human polyomavirus (formerly known as papovavirus). [3] It was identified by electron microscopy in 1965 by ZuRhein and Chou, [ 4 ] and by Silverman and Rubinstein.

  7. Trichodysplasia spinulosa polyomavirus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trichodysplasia_spinulosa...

    Trichodysplasia spinulosa is a proliferative skin disorder [8] [9] that occurs in immunocompromised people and is considered benign, but can be disfiguring. [10] It was suspected to be associated with viral infection on the basis of the patient population in which it appeared, and electron microscopy studies of clinical samples identified virus-like particles of a size and shape consistent ...

  8. Alphapolyomavirus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alphapolyomavirus

    The primary alphapolyomavirus that is of clinical significance to humans is Merkel cell polyomavirus (Human polyomavirus 5, MCV, or MCPyV). The apparent oncogenicity of MCPyV [6] similar to other cancer-causing viruses such as HPV, Epstein-Barr virus, and Hepatitis C virus [7] is a main area of research for the scientific community.

  9. SV40 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SV40

    SV40 is an abbreviation for simian vacuolating virus 40 or simian virus 40, a polyomavirus that is found in both monkeys and humans.Like other polyomaviruses, SV40 is a DNA virus that is found to cause tumors in humans and animals, but most often persists as a latent infection.
