Polyomaviruses
Polyomaviruses are a family of small, non-enveloped DNA viruses that infect a wide range of animals, including humans. In humans, polyomaviruses cause a range of diseases, such as infection of the urinary tract, respiratory tract, and brain. They are important because they have been linked to certain cancers in humans, including certain types of lung and kidney cancer. Polyomaviruses can also cause mild, asymptomatic infections, or remain dormant in an infected person with no symptoms. Because of this, polyomaviruses are increasingly studied by scientists in order to better understand their role in human disease.
