Competing Interests
This study was partly funded by an Abbott Viral Discovery Award. Charles Y. Chiu is the director of the UCSF-Abbott Viral Diagnostics and Discovery Center (VDDC) and Guixia Yu is employed by the VDDC. The authors have filed a provisional patent application related to MXPyV (No. 61/692,170) titled “A Novel Polyomavirus Associated with Diarrhea in Children”. This does not alter the authors' adherence to all PLOS ONE policies on sharing data and materials.
