Three populations of wild foxes were sampled for serum neutralizing antibody to calicivirus (San Miguel sea lion virus) types 1-5. Neutralizing activity was detected in serum from gray foxes resident on Santa Cruz Island, California, but not in Arctic foxes from Alaska. The results indicate that foxes may be naturally infected with caliciviruses, but their role in the transmission cycle is unknown.
