Caliciviridae is a family of small, non-enveloped RNA viruses that cause a range of gastrointestinal diseases, including vomiting and diarrhea. The virus particles are star-shaped with six points. Picornaviridae, Rhabdoviridae, Coronaviridae, and Filoviridae do not have six-pointed, star-shaped particles and are not primarily associated with gastrointestinal diseases.
