Serological cross-reactivity between Merkel cell polyomavirus and two closely related chimpanzee polyomaviruses.

Serological cross-reactivity between Merkel cell polyomavirus and two closely related chimpanzee polyomaviruses.

Phylogenetic analyses based on the major capsid protein sequence indicate that Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCPyV) and chimpanzee polyomaviruses (PtvPyV1, PtvPyV2), and similarly Trichodysplasia spinulosa-associated polyomavirus (TSPyV) and the orangutan polyomavirus (OraPyV1) are closely related.
