Six serotypes of calicivirus (San Miguel Sea Lion Virus types 4,6,7
and 13, Mink Calicivirus and Reptile Calicivirus) were plaque purified,
and two-dimensional gel electrophoresis fingerprints, of the ³²P-labeled
Ribonuclease T1 digested viral RNA, were performed for each serotype.
Fingerprints revealed several oligonucleotides with similar mobilities,
and therefore, possibly similar...
Serum samples from 1,046 Kansas cattle were examined for the
presence of neutralizing antibody to caliciviruses known to be
circulating in the marine environment. All sera were from farm-origin
cattle, with the number tested being proportionate to the total number
of cattle in each county. These sera were selected in...
The Caliciviridae contains many viruses which are pathogenic to humans, marine
mammals, domestic animals, and numerous species of wildlife. Currently there is no single assay
to detect antigenic response to the multiple serotypes of calicivirus. The development of
calicivirus specific synthetic peptides having highly conserved epitopes common to many
serotypes...
This report describes the partial characterization of the first cultivable calicivirus isolated from a European rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus), named rabbit calicivirus Oryctolagus-1 and abbreviated RaCv Ory-1. RaCv Ory-1 was isolated from juvenile feeder rabbits displaying symptoms of diarrhea. Absence of neutralization by type specific neutralizing antibodies for 40 caliciviruses and...
