Purification and characterization of a calicivirus as the causative agent of a lethal hemorrhagic disease in rabbits

F Parra et al. J Virol. 1990 Aug.

Abstract

The causative viral agent of a lethal rabbit hemorrhagic disease has been purified and characterized. In negative-stained preparations, the virions were icosahedral, measured 27 to 35 nm in diameter, were without an envelope, and showed 10 peripheral cup-shaped depressions. The major structural protein was 60 kilodaltons, which constitutes a unique characteristic of the Caliciviridae.
