Implication

Antigenic distinction from NV may limit assumed cross-immunity; leaves open strain-specific characterization in human calicivirus studies.

Structured PICO

P
Population
Human caliciviruses (HuCV) and small round structured viruses (SRSVs) obtained from children and adults in the United Kingdom and Japan
I
Intervention
Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), amino acid sequence alignment, and enzyme immunoassay (EIA)
O
Outcome
Sequence homology and antigenic similarity to Norwalk virus and Snow Mountain agent

Human caliciviruses and small round structured viruses share high sequence homology with Snow Mountain agent but are antigenically distinct from prototype Norwalk virus.
