New lab preprint, led by the David Bhella lab (CVR, UoGlasgow), studies the structure of vesivirus 2117, a pathogen initially discovered following contamination of industial bioreactors, showing similarities to canine and mink vesiviruses, and distantly related to human norovirus, a fellow member of the Caliciviridae family. The studies highlights differences between the 2117 and FCV structures suggesting alternate attachment and entry routes employed by these viruses. Read the preprint here.
