Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCPyV) is linked to a cutaneous cancer mainly occurring in Caucasians. DNA from skin swabs of 255 adults, originating from the 5 continents, were subjected to MCPyV PCRs. Phylogenetic analyses demonstrate the existence of 5 major geographically related MCPyV genotypes (Europe/North America, Africa [sub-Saharan], Oceania, South America, and Asia/Japan).
默克尔细胞多瘤病毒(MCPyV)与一种主要发生在白种人的皮肤癌有关。对来自五大洲的255名成年人皮肤拭子中的DNA进行了MCPyV聚合酶链反应(PCR)检测。系统发育分析表明存在5种主要的与地理区域相关的MCPyV基因型(欧洲/北美洲、非洲[撒哈拉以南]、大洋洲、南美洲以及亚洲/日本)。
