aThe family Caliciviridae has been tentatively divided into five groups, each proposed to be a genus. Group 1: Vesicular exanthema of swine (VESV), San Miguel sea lion virus (SMSV), Feline calicivirus (FCV), Canine calicivirus (CCV); Group 2: Sapporo calicivirus (Sapporo); Group 3: Rabbit hemorrhagic disease virus (RHDV); Group 4: Hepatitis E virus (HEV); Group 5: Small round structured virus (SRSV), which includes Norwalk virus.
