Human Norovirus prevalence in Africa:a review of studies from 1990 to 2013 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
OBJECTIVES: To assess the contribution of Human Norovirus to diarrheal diseases in Africa.   METHODS: We conducted a systematic review of the PubMed and EMBASE databases for published articles of Human Norovirus in Africa between 1990 and 2013. Data were

Norovirus Binding to Ligands Beyond Histo-Blood Group Antigens

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2017
Histo-blood group antigens (HBGAs) are commonly accepted as the cellular receptors for human norovirus. However, some human noroviruses have been found not to bind any HBGA ligand, suggesting potential additional co-factors.

Human norovirus culture in B cells [PDF]

open access: yesNature Protocols, 2015
Human noroviruses (HuNoVs) are a leading cause of foodborne disease and severe childhood diarrhea, and they cause a majority of the gastroenteritis outbreaks worldwide. However, the development of effective and long-lasting HuNoV vaccines and therapeutics has been greatly hindered by their uncultivability.

Aerosol generation in public restrooms [PDF]

open access: yes, 2021
Aerosolized droplets play a central role in the transmission of various infectious diseases, including Legionnaire's disease, gastroenteritis-causing norovirus, and most recently COVID-19. Respiratory droplets are known to be the most prominent source of transmission for COVID-19, however, alternative routes may exist given the discovery of small ...

Norovirus Attachment and Entry

open access: yesViruses, 2019
Human norovirus is a major human pathogen causing the majority of cases of viral gastroenteritis globally. Viral entry is the first step of the viral life cycle and is a significant determinant of cell tropism, host range, immune interactions, and ...

Use of Murine Norovirus as a Surrogate To Evaluate Resistance of Human Norovirus to Disinfectants [PDF]

open access: yesApplied and Environmental Microbiology, 2008
ABSTRACT Murine norovirus (MNV) was used as a surrogate to study resistance of human norovirus to disinfectants used in hospitals. MNV was sensitive to alcohol, alcohol hand rubs, bleach, and povidone iodine-based disinfectant. Real-time reverse transcription-PCR results indicated that the presence of viral RNA did not correlate with the ...

Interferon-lambda: A potent regulator of intestinal viral infections [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
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 ...

Human norovirus infection in Latin America [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Clinical Virology, 2016
Noroviruses are important enteric pathogens involved in non-bacterial gastroenteritis outbreaks worldwide. Noroviruses mainly occur from person to person via the fecal-oral route but also through contaminated food or water; indirect contamination is also possible due to the resistance of the virus in the environment. Latin American countries as a whole

Targeted Profiling of Immunological Genes during Norovirus Replication in Human Intestinal Enteroids

open access: yesViruses, 2021
Norovirus is the leading cause of acute gastroenteritis worldwide. The pathogenesis of norovirus and the induced immune response remain poorly understood due to the lack of a robust virus culture system.
