Family: Caliciviridae

Genus: Vesivirus

Distinguishing features

Viruses in this genus form a distinct clade within the family Caliciviridae (Figure 4. Caliciviridae).  ORF2 encodes the major capsid protein that is translated as a larger precursor protein before cleavage into the mature VP1, a feature that appears unique to this genus. 

Family: Caliciviridae

Genus: Valovirus

Distinguishing features

The strains in this genus form a distinct clade within the family Caliciviridae (Figure 4. Caliciviridae).
