Abstract

Feline calicivirus (FCV) is a highly contagious pathogen of cats that can be grown in cultured cells. FCV is used as a model to study nonculturable caliciviruses, such as noroviruses. We determined the complete genome sequence of the FCV 2280 strain from the American Tissue Culture Collection.
