Baculovirus expression and antigenic characterization of the capsid proteins of three Norwalk-like viruses
Human caliciviruses (HuCVs) are antigenically diverse. The antigenic relationships among different HuCVs have been difficult to study because HuCVs cannot be passaged in the laboratory. In this study, we desc...

Molecular characterization of a novel recombinant strain of human astrovirus associated with gastroenteritis in children
We report a naturally occurring human astrovirus (HAstV) strain detected in two different geographic locations. We identified two isolates of this strain in a diarrhea outbreak at a child care center in Houst...

Reclassification of the Caliciviridae into distinct genera and exclusion of hepatitis E virus from the family on the basis of comparative phylogenetic analysis
Caliciviridae and Picornaviridae belong to the same subphylum and genera within Picornaviridae are well characterized. Until 1998, Caliciviridae included one genus Calicivirus, containing strains with distinct s...

Characterization of a novel human calicivirus that may be a naturally occurring recombinant
We identified a Norwalk-like calicivirus (CV) whose genome likely was derived from naturally occurring recombination. This strain (Arg320) was detected by the EIA developed against recombinant Mexico virus (r...

Complete nucleotide sequence and genomic organization of a primate calicivirus, Pan-1
The primate calicivirus, Pan-1, was originally isolated from several primate species. It displayed typical calicivirus morphology by electron micro-scopy. We determined the genomic sequence of Pan-1 by cDNA cl...

Genomic map** of a calicivirus VPg
We identified a primate calicivirus (Pan-1) VPg in Pan-1-infected cells. The Pan-1 VPg was associated with both genomic and subgenomic RNAs. RNase digestion of Pan-1 RNA yielded a residual protein of 16 kDa. T...

Sapporo-like human caliciviruses are genetically and antigenically diverse
The Sapporo-like human caliciviruses (HuCVs) comprise one of three genogroups of HuCVs associated with acute gastroenteritis. Phylogenetic analysis has shown that Sapporo-like HuCVs are related more closely to...

Partial characterization of the genome of nine animal caliciviruses
Caliciviruses (CVs) include at least 42 distinct serotypes. Seventeen CV serotypes have been isolated from marine sources and are called San Miguel sea lion caliciviruses (SMSVs). CVs also have been isolated f...

Dot blot hybridization with a cDNA probe derived from the human calicivirus Sapporo 1982 strain
A dot blot hybridization assay was developed for detection of human calicivirus/Sapporo/82/J (HuCV/Sa/82) or strains closely related to HuCV/Sa/82 in stool specimens. The cDNA derived from the RNA-dependent RN...

Group A rotavirus G type prevalence in two regions of Hungary
Rotaviruses are a major cause of gastroenteritis in children worldwide. Rotaviruses are antigenically complex, with multiple serotypes (G types). The first longitudinal study of group A rotavirus serotype (G t...

Seroty** of human rotaviruses in Argentina by ELISA with monoclonal antibodies
Human rotaviruses are the major, recognized cause of infantile diarrhea worldwide. Characterization of naturally occurring human isolates indicates that there are six human rotavirus serotypes, four of which (...
