Is 'JCV' an abreviation of 'Jamestown-Canyon virus' or an eponym from de initials of the first patient who died from Progressive Multifocal Leucoencephalopathy ? Dr.Marc Allewaert,neurologist,Belgium—Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.136.87.169 (talk • contribs)

"The letters JC are the initials of a patient with PML from whose brain the virus was first isolated." from [1], so I think the latter is correct. Awyong J. M. Salleh 13:15, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
