Molar concentration of sodium chloride partially stabilized feline calicivirus against thermal inactivation at 50 C. One strain of feline calicivirus was relatively acid labile compared to another.

The purpose of this case study was to describesthe infection withfeline calicivirus manifested aschronic stomatitis, rhinitisand otitis ina Bengal cat. Acat presented the clinic due inappetence, weakness, and frequent vomiting. It hadnever been vaccinated, never given anthelmintic. had an openwound on itsback,andpurulent dischargewas appearing inthe earand nose. Usingan antigen testkit, Feline ...

Upper respiratory tract diseases (URTD) are common clinical problem in cats worldwide. Feline calicivirus (FCV) and feline herpesvirus type 1 (FHV-1) are the main primary pathogens. Feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) and Feline leukemia virus (FeLV) are also among the most common infectious diseases of cats which suppress the immunity. Oropharyngeal and conjunctival swabs and blood samples wer...

Virucidal efficacy was evaluated for four recently available disinfectants: chlorine dioxide, potassium peroxymonosulfate, a quaternary ammonium compound, and citricidal (grapefruit extract). Sodium hypochlorite (3%) and tap water were used as positive and negative controls respectively. Feline herpesvirus, feline calicivirus, and feline parvovirus were exposed to the manufacturers' recommended...

Twenty-one free-ranging Central Kalahari lions (Panthera leo) exhibited a high prevalence rate of feline herpesvirus (100%) and feline immunodeficiency virus (71.4%). Canine distemper virus and feline calicivirus occurred with a low prevalence. All individuals tested negative for feline coronavirus, feline parvovirus, feline leukemia virus, Ehrlichia canis, and Anaplasma phagocytophilum.

BACKGROUND Norovirus, formerly known as Norwalk virus, is an important cause of gastroenteritis outbreaks in hospitals, food services, schools, and cruise ships. Infection control practices by using disinfectants to eliminate noroviruses from surfaces and environmental samples reduce the morbidity and spread of virus outbreaks. There are not many commercial disinfectants effective against norov...

Feline calicivirus is one of the surrogate viruses human norovirus. This study aimed to identify virucidal compounds, chemical constituents plants from genus Dracocephalum, which are rich in flavonoids and phenylpropanoid oligomers. Four undescribed including a flavanone glucoside, two stilbenoid glycosides, amide glycoside, as well 17 known were isolated Mongolian Dracocephalum fruticulosum St...

A total of 46 strains of feline calicivirus isolates from the United Kingdom, United States, Australia, and New Zealand were used in an investigation of their serological relationships based on the serum neutralization test. Although demonstrable antigenic variation exists between these isolates, it is shown that significant in vitro cross-activity exists between all these isolates to greater o...
