Calicivirus is a family of viruses that primarily affect animals, but humans can be affected by certain types, most notably Norovirus, which is a member of the Caliciviridae family. Norovirus is a common cause of gastroenteritis in humans, leading to symptoms like vomiting and diarrhea. Other calicivirus strains primarily infect animals, such as the feline calicivirus, which does not infect humans. Therefore, while humans can contract a form of calicivirus, it is mainly through Norovirus and not from other animal-specific strains.
