Role of astroviruses in childhood diarrhea
Current Opinion in Pediatrics, 2000Human astrovirus (HAstV) is a significant cause of acute diarrhea among children, resulting in outbreaks of diarrhea and occasionally in hospitalization. Improved detection methods for eight antigenic types of HAstV and studies assessing the frequency and severity of HAstV diarrhea have further defined the impact of HAstV infections in children.

The molecular biology of astroviruses
1996Astroviruses (genus Astrovirus) are assigned to a newly established virus family, the Astroviridae. The molecular biology of these agents reveals many features unique amongst the non-enveloped animal viruses and resembles that of members of certain plant virus families.

Astroviruses: gastroenteritis agents
2016This chapter looks at astroviruses, which were first identified by electron microscopists 40 years ago. These viruses are the second most common cause of gastroenteritis in young children after rotavirus. Rotavirus may often be a co-pathogen, and multiple serotypes circulate simultaneously, especially in developing countries.

Noroviruses, Sapoviruses, and Astroviruses
2014Acute gastroenteritis (AGE) is among the most common diseases of humankind affecting people of all ages but particularly children and the elderly. In developing countries, AGE remains one of the most important causes of death in children. In decades past, the etiology of the majority of cases of AGE remained unidentified. More recently, improvements in

Epidemiology of Human Astroviruses
2012Molecular surveillance of viral gastroenteritis reveals that human astroviruses (HAstV) are one of the most important agents of acute pediatric diarrhea after rotaviruses and arguably caliciviruses. Sequence analysis of the capsid region enables the determination of HAstV genotype/serotype and their distribution into eight genotypes (HAstV-1–HAstV-8 ...

Astroviruses: human and animal.
Ciba Foundation symposium, 1987The name astrovirus was used by Madeley and Cosgrove in 1975 to describe a small round virus (approximately 28 nm diameter) with star-like appearance on electron microscopy. It was first seen in faeces from a few children with gastroenteritis. An aetiological role in gastroenteritis has since been confirmed.
