Abstract
(en) The JC virus (JCV) is a polyomavirus known for establishing persistent, latent, and asymptomatic infections within the general population. Under conditions of compromised cellular immunity, notably in HIV infections, the virus can undergo reactivation and replication, leading to genomic rearrangements and acquisition of new tropisms, notably for the central nervous system where it can be responsible for progressive multifocal leukoencephalitis (PML).
