Journal ArticleDOI

Norovirus and histo-blood group antigens: demonstration of a wide spectrum of strain specificities and classification of two major binding groups among multiple binding patterns.

TL;DR: The results suggest that noroviruses have a wide spectrum of host range and that human HBGAs play an important role in norovirus evolution and the high polymorphism of the human HBGA system, the involvement of multiple epitopes, and the typical protein/carbohydrate interaction between norov virus VLPs and HBGas provide an explanation for the virus-ligand binding diversities.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genetic diversity among sapoviruses.

TL;DR: This study characterized twenty-five SAP detected in the laboratory from outbreaks or sporadic cases of acute gastroenteritis in children from different geographical locations and in adults involved in a cruise ship outbreak investigation and a nursing home outbreak, and proposed to classify the currently known SAP into nine genetic clusters within five genogroups, including one genogroup that is represented by an animal calicivirus, the porcine enteric calicvirus (PEC).
Journal ArticleDOI

Characterization of a rhesus monkey calicivirus representing a new genus of Caliciviridae.

TL;DR: Although the pathogenicity of TV in rhesus macaques remains to be elucidated, the likelihood of TV causing intestinal infection and the availability of a tissue culture system make this virus a valuable surrogate for human CVs.
