Feline calicivirus (FCV) is an important and highly prevalent pathogen of cats. It belongs to the family Caliciviridae which includes other significant pathogens of man and animals. As an RNA virus, high polymerase error rates convey upon FCV a high genome plasticity, and allow the virus to respond rapidly to environmental selection pressures.

A little less aggregation a little more replication: Viral manipulation of stress granules
Viruses depend entirely on host machinery and therefore aim to conquer the host and defeat its defenses to co‐opt its resources for its own replication. Improved understanding of how viruses counteract host immune responses such as stress granule assembly, detailed here, will inform future antiviral therapeutic strategies.

Vesivirus 2117 capsids more closely resemble sapovirus and lagovirus particles than other known vesivirus structures [PDF]
Vesivirus 2117 is an adventitious agent that in 2009, was identified as a contaminant of CHO cells propagated in bioreactors at a pharmaceutical manufacturing plant belonging to Genzyme.

Caliciviruses represented by norovirus and sapovirus exist not only in human but also in other animal species. Clinical manifestations are gastroenteritis, respiratory infections, vesicles and hemorrhagic skin diseases and others symptoms depended on the viruses. Inapparent symptom of calicivirus infection is also recognized.

An Update on Feline Calicivirus
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 ...

Ability of vaccine strain induced antibodies to neutralize field isolates of caliciviruses from Swedish cats [PDF]
Background: Feline calicivirus (FCV) is a common cause of upper respiratory tract disease in cats worldwide. Its characteristically high mutation rate leads to escape from the humoral immune response induced by natural infection and/or vaccination and ...

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.

Identification of Gastroenteric Viruses by Electron Microscopy Using Higher Order Spectral Features [PDF]
Background: Many paediatric illnesses are caused by viral agents, for example, acute gastroenteritis. Electron microscopy can provide images of viral particles and can be used to identify the agents.

Characterisation of a non-pathogenic and non-protective infectious rabbit lagovirus related to RHDV [PDF]
The existence of non-pathogenic RHDV strains was established when a non-lethal virus named rabbit calicivirus (RCV) was characterised in 1996 in Italy.
