Sapovirus Outbreaks in Long-Term Care Facilities, Oregon and Minnesota, USA, 2002–2009
We tested fecal samples from 93 norovirus-negative gastroenteritis outbreaks; 21 outbreaks were caused by sapovirus. Of these, 71% were caused by sapovirus genogroup IV and 66% occurred in long-term care facilities.

Differential Viral Genome Diversity of Healthy and RSS-Affected Broiler Flocks
The intestinal virus community contributes to health and disease. Runting and stunting syndrome (RSS) is associated with enteric viruses and leads to economic losses in the poultry industry. However, many viruses that potentially cause this syndrome have

Interferon-lambda: A potent regulator of intestinal viral infections [PDF]
Interferon-lambda (IFN-λ) is a recently described cytokine found to be of critical importance in innate immune regulation of intestinal viruses. Endogenous IFN-λ has potent antiviral effects and has been shown to control multiple intestinal viruses and ...

Prevalence and Genotype Distribution of Sapovirus in China: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis
This review highlights a distinct age‐related trend in Sapovirus (SaV) prevalence in China, peaking among kindergarten children and adults. These results not only enhance the understanding of SaV's epidemiology but also provide a robust foundation for estimating disease burden and informing the development of targeted vaccines and public health ...

Norovirus infection in immunocompromised hosts [PDF]
Acute gastroenteritis caused by noroviruses often has a duration of 2–0 days and is characteristically self-limiting. In contrast, chronic infection caused by noroviruses in immunocompromised individuals can last from weeks to years, making clinical ...

Comparative analysis of the extent of protein–protein interactions in icosahedral viral capsids
Abstract Nonenveloped viruses package, carry, and deliver their genomes to the targeted cells using protein shells known as capsids. The viral capsids come in different shapes and sizes, most exhibiting helical or icosahedral symmetries. Here, we analyzed 634 icosahedral capsids at high resolution (<4 Å) from 39 virus families with T‐numbers ranging ...

Diagnostic electron microscopy in human infectious diseases – Methods and applications
Abstract Diagnostic electron microscopy (EM) is indispensable in all cases of infectious diseases which deserve or profit from the detection of the entire pathogen (i.e. the infectious unit). The focus of its application has shifted during the last decades from routine diagnostics to diagnostics of special cases, emergencies and the investigation of ...
