Synthesis and Antiviral Activity of Bis-Histidyl Diaminoalkanes in Relation to Feline calicivirus
An RNA-containing virus of the Vesivirus genus Caliciviridae family causes feline calicivirosis, a disease widely spread worldwide. The literature describes a systemic form of infection leading to the death of up to 60% of sick animals (FCV-VSD).

New proof-of-concept in viral inactivation: virucidal efficacy of 405 nm light against feline calicivirus as a model for norovirus decontamination [PDF]
The requirement for novel decontamination technologies for use in hospitals is ever present. One such system uses 405 nm visible light to inactivate microorganisms via ROS-generated oxidative damage.

Norovirus in Captive Lion Cub (Panthera leo)
African lions (Panthera leo) are susceptible to viral diseases of domestic carnivores, including feline calicivirus infection. We report the identification of a novel enteric calicivirus, genetically related to human noroviruses of genogroup IV, in a ...

Exploring the Enteric Virome of Cats with Acute Gastroenteritis
Viruses are a major cause of acute gastroenteritis (AGE) in cats, chiefly in younger animals. Enteric specimens collected from 29 cats with acute enteritis and 33 non-diarrhoeic cats were screened in PCRs and reverse transcription (RT) PCR for a large ...

Exposure to selected pathogens in Geoffroy's cats and domestic carnivores from central Argentina [PDF]
Wild carnivores share a high percentage of parasites and viruses with closely related domestic carnivores. Because of increased overlap and potential contact with domestic species, we conducted a retrospective serosurvey for 11 common carnivore pathogens

The role of cellular adhesion molecules in virus attachment and entry [PDF]
As obligate intracellular parasites, viruses must traverse the host-cell plasma membrane to initiate infection. This presents a formidable barrier, which they have evolved diverse strategies to overcome.

A multi-national European cross-sectional study of feline calicivirus epidemiology, diversity and vaccine cross-reactivity [PDF]
Background Feline calicivirus (FCV) is an important pathogen of cats for which vaccination is regularly practised. Long-term use of established vaccine antigens raises the theoretical possibility that field viruses could become resistant.

The Adenosine Analogue NITD008 has Potent Antiviral Activity against Human and Animal Caliciviruses
The widespread nature of calicivirus infections globally has a substantial impact on the health and well-being of humans and animals alike. Currently, the only vaccines approved against caliciviruses are for feline and rabbit-specific members of this ...
