An Update on Feline Calicivirus
Schweizer Archiv fur Tierheilkunde, 2022 Feline Calicivirus (FCV) is one of the most common viral pathogens in domestic cats worldwide. The first report of FCV dates back to 1957, when FCV was isolated from the gastrointestinal tract of cats in New Zealand. Subsequent reports recognised FCV as a cause of respiratory disease in cats, and at present, feline practitioners worldwide are daily ...

The role of cellular adhesion molecules in virus attachment and entry [PDF]
, 2015 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.

Exploring the Enteric Virome of Cats with Acute Gastroenteritis
Veterinary Sciences, 2023 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 ...

A multi-national European cross-sectional study of feline calicivirus epidemiology, diversity and vaccine cross-reactivity [PDF]
, 2017 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.
