Isolation and identification of a calicivirus from a dog with diarrhoea.
The isolation and the characterisation of a calicivirus strain (213/95) from a dog with diarrhoea are reported. The virus grows only in cell cultures of feline origin (Crandell Feline Kidney Cells), and in neutralisation test the isolate demonstrated a slight antigenic correlation with the reference feline calicivirus strain (FCV-F9).
