The
Calicivirus
Pages
| Mink
calicivirus (vesivirus) was first isolated
in Vero cells from samples from mink with
hemorrhagic pneumonia (Evermann et al.,
1983). Subsequently, Guo et al. (2001)
sequenced 464 nt the RNA-dependant RNA
polymerase of three isolates from the United
States. Recently, Yang et al. (2012)
sequenced the complete genome of a mink
calicivirus from China. The three earlier
sequences were closely related to the recent
complete genome sequence (96.6 to 98.7%
identical). The recently determined complete
genome sequence of
San Miguel
sea lion virus 8 shows it to be most
closely related to mink calicivirus (J.D.
Neill, unpub.). |
