1962 J. L. Melnick in Science 30 Mar. 1128 In the course of work in this laboratory with papilloma (wart) virus of man, polyoma virus of mice, and vacuolating virus of monkeys, I have been made conscious of the similarities in properties between each of them and papilloma virus of rabbits. This has led me to group these viruses together in the pa'po'va virus group, the name being derived from the first two letters of each virus name: papilloma, polyoma, vacuolating, in the order in which the viruses became known.]

1977 Proc. Royal Soc. Med. 70 393/2 Dulbecco (1976) has recently considered evidence suggesting that cellular mutations may be needed for the full expression of cell transformation by papova viruses.

1984 M. J. Taussig Processes in Pathol. & Microbiol. (ed. 2) iii. 368 A third papovavirus, known as BK virus, also related to but distinct from SV40, was first demonstrated in the urine of transplant recipients undergoing immunosuppression, but has not been associated with any disease.

2002 Vaccine 20 1571 A murine experimental model system aimed at developing potential vaccines to papovavirus infection in immunosuppressed individuals was explored.
