Polyomavirus BK Genome Comparison Shows High Genetic Diversity in Kidney Transplant Recipients Three Months after Transplantation

BK polyomavirus (BKPyV) is a human DNA virus generally divided into twelve subgroups based on the genetic diversity of Viral Protein 1 (VP1). BKPyV can cause polyomavirus-associated nephropathy (PVAN) after kidney transplantation. Detection of BKPyV DNA in blood (viremia) is a source of concern and...
