Abstract
THE recent isolation of two serotypes of San Miguel sea lion virus (SMSV), a calicivirus indistinguishable from vesicular exanthema of swine virus (VESV), from California sea lions (Zalophus c. californianus) and Northern fur seals (Callorhinus ursinus) points to: (1) the widespread distribution of SMSV, and (2) the role of marine mammals as possible reservoirs of viral diseases of terrestrial animals1,2.
