Abstract
Conclusions. This study showed evidence of polyomavirus SV40 infections in Kazakhstan, not only among individuals potentially exposed to contaminated poliovaccines, but in younger people not exposed to such vaccines. As increasing evidence indicates an association of SV40 with selected types of human malignancies, prospective studies are needed to examine the risk of SV40 infection with the development of neoplasias.
