List of Unassigned Viruses in the Family

00.012.0.00.001. Amyelosis chronic stunt virus (insects) (ACSV)
00.012.0.00.002. Bovine enteric calicivirus (Jena virus) (BoCV)
00.012.0.00.004. Canine calicivirus (CaCV)

00.012.0.00.008. Porcine enteric calicivirus (PoCV)
00.012.0.00.010. Walrus calicivirus (WCV)









Similarity with Other Taxa

Caliciviridae have some properties similar to the viruses in the families Picornaviridae, Potyviridae, and Comoviridae relative to the presence of a VPg at the 5’ end and a poly(A) tract at the 3’end of the positive sense ssRNA genome. The putative viral RdRp of the Caliciviridae shares sequence homology with that of Picornaviridae.

Derivation of Name

Calici: from Latin calix, "cup" or "goblet", from cup-shaped depressions observed by electron microscopy.
Lago: from Lagomorpha, the mammalian host order for the type species Rabbit hemorrhagic disease virus.
Vesi: from the type species Vesicular exanthema of swine virus.
