Insights into human norovirus cultivation in human intestinal enteroids
ABSTRACT Human noroviruses (HuNoVs) are a significant cause of epidemic and sporadic acute gastroenteritis worldwide. The lack of a reproducible culture system hindered the study of HuNoV replication and pathogenesis for almost a half-century.

A Dynamic Quantitative Microbial Risk Assessment for Norovirus in Potable Reuse System [PDF]
This study describes the results of a dynamic quantitative microbial risk assessment (QMRA) for norovirus (NoV) that was used to evaluate the relative significance of foodborne, person-to-person, and person-to-sewage-to-person transmission pathways. This

Strategies to reduce microbial risk and improve quality of fresh and processed strawberries: A review [PDF]
Strawberries are one of the most important fruits in the Mediterranean diet and have been widely investigatedfor their nutritional and nutraceutical properties. Concern about the safety of fresh and processed strawberrieshas increased in recent years due

ABSTRACT Salovirus is a genus within the family Caliciviridae, which contains a single member species, Salovirus nordlandense, also known as Atlantic salmon calicivirus (ASCV). While previous work has shown that ASCV can replicate in fish cell lines and establish systemic infection in vivo, its exact role in disease remains unclear and very little is ...

Lack of Effect of Murine Norovirus Infection on a Mouse Model of Bacteria-Induced Colon Cancer [PDF]
Murine norovirus (MNV) is endemic in mouse research facilities in the United States and Europe, with a prevalence as high as 58% to 64%. Because of MNV's orofecal route of infection, clinically silent persistent infections in some mouse strains, and ...

Use of Human Intestinal Enteroids to Detect Human Norovirus Infectivity
Tools to detect human norovirus infectivity have been lacking. Using human intestinal enteroid cultures inoculated with GII.Pe-GII.4 Sydney–infected fecal samples, we determined that a real-time reverse transcription PCR cycle threshold cutoff of 30 may ...

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 ...

Identification of immune and viral correlates of norovirus protective immunity through comparative study of intra-cluster norovirus strains. [PDF]
Whether or not primary norovirus infections induce protective immunity has become a controversial issue, potentially confounded by the comparison of data from genetically distinct norovirus strains.

Periodically stationary multivariate autoregressive models [PDF]
A class of multivariate periodic autoregressive models is proposed where coupling between time series is achieved through linear mean functions. Various response distributions with quadratic mean-variance relationships fit into the framework, including the negative binomial, gamma and Gaussian distributions.

Human-robot co-manipulation of extended objects: Data-driven models and control from analysis of human-human dyads [PDF]
Human teams are able to easily perform collaborative manipulation tasks. However, for a robot and human to simultaneously manipulate an extended object is a difficult task using existing methods from the literature. Our approach in this paper is to use data from human-human dyad experiments to determine motion intent which we use for a physical human ...
