Propagation of Homalodisca coagulata virus-01 via Homalodisca vitripennis Cell Culture
Published on: September 25, 2014
Abstract:
The caliciviruses, as a proposed family Caliciviridae, have a distinct virion morphology with cup-shaped depressions on a spherical capsid surface. The viruses have single-stranded RNA, which has a molecular weight about 2.6 x 10(6) and is infectious. The RNA is covalently linked to a small protein. A single major polypeptide is found in the capsid. A subgenomic RNA, molecular weight about 1 x 10(6), coding for the capsid polypeptide is found in infected cells. Caliciviruses infecting swine, pinnipeds and cats have been characterized. Viruses which are morphologically identical to the known caliciviruses have been identified in human feces; these viruses have been shown to be associated with gastroenteritis, but they have not yet been propagated in the laboratory.
