To determine seropositivity for STLPyV, we developed an ELISA and screened patient samples from 2 US cities (Denver, Colorado [500]; St. Louis, Missouri [419]). Overall seropositivity was 68%-70%. The age-stratified data suggest that STLPyV infection is widespread and commonly acquired during childhood.Emerging infectious diseasesCommon exposure to STL polyomavirus during childhood.PMC4178396CA37667R01 CA037667Primi BLim ESWang DMeinerz NMGarcea RLfalseCommon exposure to STL polyomavirus during childhood.STL polyomavirus (STLPyV) was recently identified in human specimens.
