Identification of Gastroenteric Viruses by Electron Microscopy Using Higher Order Spectral Features [PDF]
, 2005 Background: Many paediatric illnesses are caused by viral agents, for example, acute gastroenteritis. Electron microscopy can provide images of viral particles and can be used to identify the agents.

New proof-of-concept in viral inactivation: virucidal efficacy of 405 nm light against feline calicivirus as a model for norovirus decontamination [PDF]
, 2016 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.

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

Selection and Characterization of Rupintrivir-Resistant Norwalk Virus Replicon Cells In Vitro. [PDF]
, 2018 Human norovirus (HuNoV) is a major cause of nonbacterial gastroenteritis worldwide, yet despite its impact on society, vaccines and antivirals are currently lacking. A HuNoV replicon system has been widely applied to the evaluation of antiviral compounds

Production of vaccines for treatment of infectious diseases by transgenic plants
Acta Agriculturae Slovenica, 2016 Since the first pathogen antigen was expressed in transgenic plants with the aim of producing edible vaccine in early 1990s, transgenic plants have become a well-established expression system for production of alternative vaccines against various human ...

Chemical derivatives of a small molecule deubiquitinase inhibitor have antiviral activity against several RNA viruses. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Most antiviral treatment options target the invading pathogen and unavoidably encounter loss of efficacy as the pathogen mutates to overcome replication restrictions.

Vomiting as a Symptom and Transmission Risk in Norovirus Illness: Evidence from Human Challenge Studies. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 In the US, noroviruses are estimated to cause 21 million cases annually with economic losses reaching $2 billion. Outbreak investigations frequently implicate vomiting as a major transmission risk.
