T1 - Characterization and Prevalence of a New Porcine Calicivirus in Swine, United States T2 - Emerging Infectious Disease journal PY - 2011 VL - 17 IS - 6 SP - 1103 SN - 1080-6059 AB - Real-time reverse transcription PCR revealed that new St-Valerien–like porcine caliciviruses are prevalent (2.6%–80%; 23.8% overall) in finisher pigs in North Carolina. One strain, NC-WGP93C, shares 89.3%–89.7% genomic nucleotide identity with Canadian strains. Whether these viruses cause disease in pigs or humans or are of food safety concern requires further investigation.
