    J Clin Virol 45:292-5. 2009
    ..Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCPyV) was discovered recently. It is considered a potential causative agent of Merkel cell carcinoma, a life-threatening skin cancer...

    Department of Virology, Haartman Institute, FIN 00014 University of Helsinki, Helsinki, Finland
    J Clin Microbiol 48:4044-50. 2010
    ..Our results support earlier findings that HBoV2 is a relatively common pathogen in the stools of diarrheic young children, yet does not often occur in the stools of adults...
  3. ncbi Seroepidemiology of human bocaviruses 1-4
    Kalle Kantola
    Department of Virology, University of Helsinki, Finland

    Department of Virology, Haartman Institute, University of Helsinki, Finland
    Clin Infect Dis 46:540-6. 2008
