RNA recombination is a significant driving force in viral evolution. Increased awareness of recombination within the genusNorovirusof the familyCalicivirushas led to a rise in the identification of norovirus (NoV) recombinants and they are now reported at high frequency.

Expression of Ifnlr1 on intestinal epithelial cells is critical to the antiviral effects of IFN-lambda against norovirus and reovirus [PDF]
Lambda interferon (IFN-λ) has potent antiviral effects against multiple enteric viral pathogens, including norovirus and rotavirus, in both preventing and curing infection. Because the intestine includes a diverse array of cell types, however, the cell(s)

Noroviruses commonly cause infectious gastroenteritis and massive food poisoning. There is an urgent need to elucidate the infection mechanism of noroviruses and to develop vaccines and therapeutic drugs. In addition to human disease, noroviruses have been implicated in animal disease.

New proof-of-concept in viral inactivation: virucidal efficacy of 405 nm light against feline calicivirus as a model for norovirus decontamination [PDF]
The requirement for novel decontamination technologies for use in hospitals is ever present. One such system uses 405 nm visible light to inactivate microorganisms via ROS-generated oxidative damage.

Genetic Analysis of Human Norovirus Strains in Japan in 2016–2017
In the 2016/2017 winter season in Japan, HuNoV GII.P16-GII.2 strains (2016 strains) emerged and caused large outbreaks of acute gastroenteritis. To better understand the outbreaks, we examined the molecular evolution of the VP1 gene and RdRp region in ...

Inhibition of cellular protein secretion by norwalk virus nonstructural protein p22 requires a mimic of an endoplasmic reticulum export signal. [PDF]
Protein trafficking between the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and Golgi apparatus is central to cellular homeostasis. ER export signals are utilized by a subset of proteins to rapidly exit the ER by direct uptake into COPII vesicles for transport to the ...
