Virus-based gene therapy research

The family Caliciviridae includes viruses with single-stranded, positive-sense RNA genomes of 7.4–8.3 kb. The most clinically important representatives are human noroviruses, which are a leading cause of acute gastroenteritis in humans. Virions are non-enveloped with icosahedral symmetry. Members of seven genera infect mammals ( Lagovirus , Norovirus , Nebovirus , Recovirus , Sapovirus , Valovirus and Vesivirus ), members of two genera infect birds ( Bavovirus and Nacovirus ), and members of two genera infect fish ( Minovirus and Salovirus ). This is a summary of the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV) Report on the family Caliciviridae , which is available at ictv.global/report/caliciviridae .
