Human Sapovirus in Clams, Japan
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 [PDF]
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]
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]
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 Outbreaks in Long-Term Care Facilities, Oregon and Minnesota, USA, 2002–2009
We tested fecal samples from 93 norovirus-negative gastroenteritis outbreaks; 21 outbreaks were caused by sapovirus. Of these, 71% were caused by sapovirus genogroup IV and 66% occurred in long-term care facilities.

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

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.
