A calicivirus was isolated from the rectum of a Steller sea lion (Eumetopias jubatus) pup on Rogue Reef, off the southern Oregon coast. Based on the results of neutralization tests with specific typing antisera, the isolate was identified as San Miguel sea lion virus serotype 6 (SMSV-6). Blood obtained from nine of 37 pups (24%) during virus sample collection procedures had specific neutralizing antibodies to SMSV-6. The isolation of SMSV-6 from a Steller sea lion represents, to our knowledge, the first isolation of any virus from this widely distributed marine mammal species, and serves to reconfirm the host-nonspecificity of yet another calicivirus of marine origin.
从俄勒冈州南部海岸外罗格礁上一头北海狗(北海狗属)幼崽的直肠中分离出一种杯状病毒。根据用特定分型抗血清进行中和试验的结果,该分离株被鉴定为圣米格尔海狮病毒6型(SMSV-6)。在病毒样本采集过程中,从37头幼崽中的9头(24%)采集的血液中含有针对SMSV-6的特异性中和抗体。据我们所知,从北海狗中分离出SMSV-6代表了首次从这种分布广泛的海洋哺乳动物物种中分离出任何病毒,并再次证实了另一种海洋来源杯状病毒的宿主非特异性。
