Time-dependent variations in BK polyomavirus genome from kidney transplant recipients with persistent viremia
19 Aug 2023
Abstract excerpt
BK polyomavirus (BKPyV) is a human DNA virus that resides latent in the host's renal tissue. Reactivation occurs occasionally and in case of kidney transplantation, it can lead to polyomavirus-associated nephropathy (PVAN).
