Introduction
Morphology
- Caliciviruses are small, unenveloped, spherical RNA viruses
- They are recognized by cup-shaped surface depressions
Virulence and Pathogenesis
- Caliciviruses are moderately resistant and can survive in the environment for weeks
- They cause respiratory, enteric, and systemic disease
- Calicivirus may contribute to undifferentiated neonatal calf diarrhoea, a mixed viral enteritis in calves.
