isolation of caliciviruses from skunks that are antigenically and genotypically related to san miguel sea lion virus.	caliciviruses were isolated from feces of skunks imported from the north central united states to canada. virus isolation was accomplished using adenovirus-transformed human kidney (293) cells, swine testes and vero cells. plaque size variants were presented, but there was no apparent difference in virus morphology by negative stain or immune electron microscopy. pigs infected with skunk calicivirus had a slightly elevated body temperature at 3 days postinfection. although the infected animals s ...	1995	7483817
development of pcr primers for specific amplification of two distinct regions of the genomes of san miguel sea-lion and vesicular exanthema of swine viruses.	the san miguel sea-lion viruses (smsv) and vesicular exanthema of swine viruses (vesv) are members of the calicivirus family and aetiologic agents of vesicular disease in susceptible hosts. these two virus groups have been shown by several serological methods to be closely related antigenically. to further examine their relatedness, two sets of non-degenerate oligonucleotide primers were designed for the specific amplification of two distinct regions of the smsv and vesv genomes using a reverse ...	1995	7760857
