In order to draw a more complete picture of NoVs molecular epidemiology in cats, in this study a collection of fecal specimens from diarrheic and healthy animals was screened using either broadly-reactive primers for caliciviruses and primers specific for NoVs. A total of 105 stool samples from domestic cats aged 2-12 months were collected from April to July 2013 in three different shelters located in South Italy.	./cache/cord-299827-lxyo3z3u.txt	./txt/cord-299827-lxyo3z3u.txt
