Novel Recombinant Sapovirus

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2004
We determined the complete genome sequences of two sapovirus strains isolated in Thailand and Japan. One of these strains represented a novel, naturally occurring recombinant sapovirus.

Human Sapovirus in Clams, Japan

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2007
Human sapovirus was detected in 4 of 57 clam packages by reverse transcription–PCR and sequence analysis. This represents the first finding of sapovirus contamination in food. Closely matching sequences have been detected in stool specimens from patients

Genetic Diversity of Sapovirus in Children, Australia

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2006
Sapovirus was detected in 7 of 95 stool specimens from children with gastroenteritis of unknown etiology in Sydney, Australia, from August 2001 to August 2002 and from February 2004 to August 2004, by using reverse transcription–polymerase chain reaction.

Sapovirus: an emerging cause of childhood diarrhea [PDF]

Current Opinion in Infectious Diseases, 2020
Purpose of review Sapovirus, a genus in the Caliciviridae family alongside norovirus, is increasingly recognized as an important cause of childhood diarrhea. Some challenges exist in our ability to better understand sapovirus infections, including the inability to grow sapovirus in cell culture,

Epidemiology of Sapovirus Infections in a Birth Cohort in Peru [PDF]

Clinical Infectious Diseases, 2017
Sapovirus is one of the primary viral causes of acute gastroenteritis (AGE), especially where rotavirus vaccination has been implemented. The characteristics and impact of natural infection at the community level, however, have not been well documented.Stool samples were analyzed from 100 children randomly selected from a community-based birth cohort ...

Sapovirus in Water, Japan

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2007
Sapoviruses are etiologic agents of human gastroenteritis. We detected sapovirus in untreated wastewater, treated wastewater, and a river in Japan. A total of 7 of 69 water samples were positive by reverse transcription-PCR. Phylogenetic analysis of the viral capsid gene grouped these strains into 4 genetic clusters.

Discovery and genomic characterization of a novel bat sapovirus with unusual genomic features and phylogenetic position. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
Sapovirus is a genus of caliciviruses that are known to cause enteric disease in humans and animals. There is considerable genetic diversity among the sapoviruses, which are classified into different genogroups based on phylogenetic analysis of the full ...

Charting the Impact of Maternal Antibodies and Repeat Exposures on Sapovirus Immunity in Early Childhood From a Nicaraguan Birth Cohort [PDF]

Journal of Infectious Diseases
BACKGROUND: Sapovirus is an important cause of acute gastroenteritis in childhood. While vaccines against sapovirus may reduce gastroenteritis burden, a major challenge to their development is a lack of information about natural immunity.

Sapovirus: an important cause of acute gastroenteritis in children [PDF]

The Lancet Child & Adolescent Health, 2019
Sapovirus infections are responsible for both sporadic cases and occasional outbreaks of acute gastroenteritis. While all age groups are affected, children younger than five years of age have the highest burden of disease. Sharing many similarities with closely-related noroviruses, common symptoms of sapovirus gastroenteritis include vomiting and ...
