Abstract in Portuguese
Os Poliomavírus JC e BK são os mais importantes integrantes da família Polyomaviridae, gênero Orthopolyomavirus, devido ao seu grau de patogenicidade no homem. O poliomavírus humano JC (JCV) foi isolado a partir de fragmento do cérebro de um paciente com linfoma de Hodgkin e leucoencefalopatia multifocal progressiva por Padgett e colaboradores. Já o poliomavírus humano BK foi isolado em 1971 por Gardner e colaboradores a partir da semeadura da urina de um paciente, submetido a transplante renal, em cultura de células da linhagem VERO Poucos são os dados sobre os poliomavírus humanos JC e BK em indivíduos sadios no mundo e no Brasil. Além disso, as formas de excreção e transmissão destes vírus ainda não estão completamente elucidadas. Este estudo teve como objetivos principais determinar a incidência, a dinâmica de excreção e a caracterização genotípica dos poliomavírus JC e BK em amostras sequenciais de urina de indivíduos sadios. Como objetivo secundário, foram analisados filogeneticamente os subtipos dos vírus encontrados. Foram incluídos 71 indivíduos de ambos os sexos, com idades variando entre 21 e 65 anos e destes foram coletadas amostras mensais de urina durante 6 meses. Todas as amostras do estudo foram submetidas a um teste de PCR em tempo real, que amplifica um fragmento do gene que codifica o antígeno T, e a um PCR convencional que amplifica um fragmento do gene da proteína VP1 do vírus. Ao final do período de 6 meses de acompanhamento a incidência de excreção urinária dos poliomavírus JCV e BKV na população estudada foi de 53,52% e 64,79% respectivamente. O perfil de excreção do JCV mostrou-se continuo em 42% dos casos , intermitente em 8% e esporádico em 50% dos casos. Analisando o perfil de excreção do BKV, em 80% dos casos mostrou-se esporádico, em 17% intermitente e em 3% dos casos contínuo. Posteriormente, as amostras positivas foram sequenciadas e analisadas filogeneticamente observando-se que os genótipos mais prevalentes do JCV foram o 1, subtipo 1B e 3, seguidos dos genótipos 1, subtipo 1A e 4. Com relação ao BKV, o genótipo 1, subtipo 1A foi o mais prevalente, seguido do 4 e do 1, subtipo 1B.

Abstract in English
The Polyomavirus JC and BK are the most important members of Polyomaviridae family, genus Orthopolyomavirus, due to their degree of pathogenicity in humans. The human polyomavirus JC (JCV) was isolated from a fragment of the brain of a patient with Hodgkin's lymphoma and progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy by Padgett et al. On the other hand the human polyomavirus BK was also isolated in 1971 by Gardner et al from the urine of a patient who underwent renal transplantation in VERO cell line. There are few data on human polyomavirus JC and BK in healthy individuals on the world and in Brazil. Moreover the forms of excretion and transmission of these viruses are not yet fully elucidated. This study aimed to determine the incidence, the dynamics of excretion, and the molecular characterization of polyomavirus JC and BK in serial samples of urine of healthy individuals. A secondary objective was to analyze phylogenetically the subtypes of the viruses found during the study. Were included 71 patients of both genders, aged from 21 to 65 yearsold. Urine samples were collected every month for six months. All samples in the study were screened by a real time PCR which amplifies a fragment of the T antigen gene, and to a conventional PCR that amplifies a fragment of the gene of VP1 protein of the virus. At the end of 6 months of follow-up, the incidence of urinary excretion of polyomaviruses BKV and JCV in the study population was 53.52% and 64.79% respectively The profile of excretion of JCV was continuous in 42% of cases, intermittent in 8% and sporadic in 50% of cases. The profile of excretion of BKV was shown to be sporadic in 80% of cases, intermittent in 17% and continuous in only 3% of cases. Subsequently, the positive samples were sequenced and analyzed phylogenetically showing that the more prevalent genotypes were JCV 1, subtype 1b and 3, followed by genotype 1, subtypes 1a and 4. Regarding the BKV genotype 1 subtype 1a was the most prevalent, followed by 4 and 1, subtype 1b.
