    Glossary Polyomavirus

    type of virus that can infect animals and humans

    Polyomavirus is a type of virus that can infect both animals and humans, often without causing any symptoms. However, in individuals with weakened immune systems, it can lead to serious diseases, including certain types of cancer. This virus is known for its ability to integrate into the host's DNA, which can disrupt normal cellular functions and potentially lead to tumor formation.
