Prevalence of human KI and WU polyomaviruses in children with acute respiratory tract infection in China.
The KI and WU polyomaviruses were found in 11 (2.7%) and 17 (4.2%) of 406 nasopharyngeal aspirates, respectively, from children with acute respiratory tract infection (ARTI). The phylogenetic analysis indicates that they are all in the same cluster as the prototype strains. Our findings suggest that they are common in children with ARTI in China.
