Abstract excerpt
To date, the genetic characteristics of feline caliciviruses (FCVs) in Hokkaido (Japan) have not been investigated. Here, 28 FCVs obtained in 2022-2023 from the Hidaka and Tokachi Districts were phylogenetically analyzed. Recombination breakpoints within open reading frame 2 (ORF2) were detected using the Genetic Algorithm for Recombination Detection (GARD) and the Recombination Detection Program v5.5 (RDP5). In...
