Background Info

K virus is a small, double stranded DNA virus of the family Papovaviridae, genus Polyomavirus. Transmission of K virus is through the oral route, and is shed in the milk, urine, and feces. K virus is stable outside the host, allowing contaminated food and bedding to remain infectious for a long time. Some mice may become life-long hosts of the virus. Pathological changes due to K virus occur in the lungs as congestion, hemorrhage, edema, and atelectasis. K virus is exclusive to mice.
