Multicenter evaluation of the Xpert Norovirus assay for detection of norovirus genogroups I and II in fecal specimens [PDF]
Norovirus is the most common cause of sporadic gastroenteritis and outbreaks worldwide. The rapid identification of norovirus has important implications for infection prevention measures and may reduce the need for additional diagnostic testing.

Sapovirus translation requires an interaction between VPg and the cap binding protein eIF4E. [PDF]
UNLABELLED: Sapoviruses of the Caliciviridae family of small RNA viruses are emerging pathogens that cause gastroenteritis in humans and animals. Molecular studies on human sapovirus have been hampered due to the lack of a cell culture system.

In silico screening for human norovirus antivirals reveals a novel non-nucleoside inhibitor of the viral polymerase [PDF]
Human norovirus causes approximately 219,000 deaths annually, yet there are currently no antivirals available. A virtual screening of commercially available drug-like compounds (~300,000) was performed on the suramin and PPNDS binding-sites of the ...
