The pathway of feline calicivirus entry

Virus Research, 1995
The requirement for a low pH-dependent step during feline calicivirus (FCV) entry into Crandell-Reese feline kidney cells was investigated. Chloroquine, a lysosomotropic agent that prevents acidification of intracellular vesicles, inhibited the production of infectious virus when present during adsorption and the initial stages of FCV replication, but ...

Feline calicivirus subunit vaccine - a prototype

Antiviral Research, 1985
A vaccine was prepared from a subunit component, antigenically similar to the whole feline calicivirus (FCV) particles. Despite the limited number of animals available for this study we were able to demonstrate that the vaccine protected cats when challenged with a virulent strain of the virus while the non-vaccinates kept as controls developed ...

Update on feline calicivirus: new trends

Veterinary Clinics of North America: Small Animal Practice, 2003
In addition to being important upper respiratory tract pathogens of cats, FCVs are increasingly reported as a cause of a highly contagious febrile hemorrhagic syndrome. Strains causing this syndrome are genetically different from the vaccine strain and other nonhemorrhagic FCV isolates. They apparently differ from one outbreak to another.

Feline Chlamydia and Calicivirus Infections

Veterinary Clinics of North America: Small Animal Practice, 2000
Feline conjunctivitis is common and often presents a clinical challenge to the veterinarian. Chlamydia psittaci is an important pathogen and should always be considered when evaluating cats with conjunctivitis. FCV is an infrequent cause of conjunctivitis and only causes the disease in conjunction with other clinical signs of this infection, such as ...

Feline calicivirus: unveiling data on viral inactivation

The Veterinary Nurse, 2010
Feline calicivirus (FCV) is an important and widespread virus of the feline population. As a member of the Caliciviridae family, FCV mutates readily in nature, and this has resulted in the recent emergence of a highly virulent haemorrhagic systemic strain.

Carrier-state infection of feline T-lymphoblastoid cells with feline calicivirus

Veterinary Microbiology, 1994
The susceptibility of feline T lymphocytes to feline calicivirus (FCV) in vitro was investigated using feline T-lymphoblastoid cell lines, namely MYA-1 and FL74 cells. The virus titers of supernatants in FCV-infected MYA-1 and FL74 cell cultures increased rapidly, and FCV antigens were also detected in the FCV-infected cells.

[Feline calicivirus: a review].

Tierarztliche Praxis, 1995
The contagious coryza is an acute disease in cats, which is caused by feline calicivirus (FCV) and feline herpesvirus type-1 (FHV-1). FCV appears to be isolated more frequently from cats than FHV-1. This review summarizes the current knowledge about FCV and about the clinic, epidemiology, and pathogenesis of the disease induced.

Feline calicivirus induced polypeptides.

Microbios, 1981
Analysis of feline calicivirus-infected cell extract for large and low molecular weight proteins revealed the presence, in submolar amounts, of a polypeptide of molecular weight 80,000 daltons which had no precursor-product relationship to the capsid proteins (mol. wt 68,000 and 14,000) synthesized in infected cells.

Inactivation of feline calicivirus, a Norwalk virus surrogate

Journal of Hospital Infection, 1999
Norwalk and Norwalk virus-like particles (NVLPs) [also known as small round structured viruses (SRSVs)] are members of the family Caliciviridae and are important causes of gastroenteritis in humans. Little is known about their survival in the environment or the disinfection procedures necessary to remove them from contaminated settings. As NVLPs cannot

An outbreak of virulent systemic feline calicivirus disease

Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association, 2004
Abstract Objective—To describe clinical and epidemiologic features of an outbreak of feline calicivirus (FCV) infection caused by a unique strain of FCV and associated with a high mortality rate and systemic signs of disease, including edema of the face or limbs. Design—Observational study.
