JC virus evolution and its association with human populations.

Journal of virology - 1 Oct 2006

Shackelton Laura A, Rambaut Andrew, Pybus Oliver G, Holmes Edward C

Abstract excerpt

The ubiquitous human polyomavirus JC (JCV) is a small double-stranded DNA virus that establishes a persistent infection, and it is often transmitted from parents to children. There are at least 14 subtypes of the virus associated with different human populations. Because of its presumed codivergence with humans, JCV has been used as a genetic marker for human evolution and migration. Codivergence has also been...
