Animals as Reservoir for Human Norovirus [PDF]

Viruses, 2019
Norovirus is the most common cause of non-bacterial gastroenteritis and is a burden worldwide. The increasing norovirus diversity is currently categorized into at least 10 genogroups which are further classified into more than 40 genotypes. In addition to humans, norovirus can infect a broad range of hosts including livestock, pets, and wild animals, e.

No evidence of an increase in the incidence of norovirus gastroenteritis hospitalizations in young children after the introduction of universal rotavirus immunization in Israel

Human Vaccines & Immunotherapeutics, 2019
Following the introduction of universal immunization against rotavirus, concerns were raised regarding pathogen-replacement of rotavirus by norovirus. The study aim was to examine the incidence and characteristics and norovirus gastroenteritis before and

Quantifying the relative effects of environmental and direct transmission of norovirus [PDF]

arXiv, 2017
Background: Norovirus is a common cause of outbreaks of acute gastroenteritis in health- and child-care settings, with serial outbreaks also frequently observed aboard cruise ships. The relative contributions of environmental and direct person-to-person transmission of norovirus has hitherto not been quantified.

Misses and Near Misses in Paediatric Appendicitis: An Eight‐Year, Single‐Centre Retrospective Review

Acta Paediatrica, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aim Diagnostic error can result in the appendectomy of a normal appendix, commonly known as negative appendectomy (NA). Missed appendicitis (MA) is related to a poor outcome. The aim of this study was to determine whether there are factors in presentation associated with NA or MA.

A Dynamic Quantitative Microbial Risk Assessment for Norovirus in Potable Reuse System [PDF]

, 2019
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

UV disinfection of human norovirus: evaluating infectivity using a genome-wide PCR-based approach.

Environmental Science and Technology, 2020
The removal and inactivation of infectious human norovirus is a major focus in water purification, but its fate through disinfection treatment processes is largely unknown owing to the lack of a readily available infectivity assay.
