Abstract
Here, we report the complete genome of a feline calicivirus (FCV) originating from household cats in Guangxi, southern China, in September 2013. To understand its genetic characteristics, we isolated FCV strain GX01-2013 from MDCK cells and determined its complete genome sequence.
Highlights
Feline calicivirus (FCV), a member of the genus Vesivirus of the family Caliciviridae, is a highly infectious pathogen of cats which can cause upper respiratory tract disease (1)
ORF1 encodes nonstructural proteins, and ORF2 and ORF3 are located in the 3=-end of the genome and encode the capsid protein (VP1) and structural protein (VP2), respectively (2)
We describe the fulllength genome sequence of FCV strain GX01-2013, which could replicate in MDCK cells effectively
Summary
Feline calicivirus (FCV), a member of the genus Vesivirus of the family Caliciviridae, is a highly infectious pathogen of cats which can cause upper respiratory tract disease (1). The FCV has a small, single-stranded positive-sense RNA genome that encodes three open reading frames (ORFs). ORF1 encodes nonstructural proteins, and ORF2 and ORF3 are located in the 3=-end of the genome and encode the capsid protein (VP1) and structural protein (VP2), respectively (2). We describe the fulllength genome sequence of FCV strain GX01-2013, which could replicate in MDCK cells effectively.
