Molecular Epidemiology of Sapovirus in Children Living in the Northwest Amazon Region

Pathogens, 2021
Sapovirus is an important etiological agent of acute gastroenteritis (AGE), mainly in children under 5 years old living in lower-income communities. Eighteen identified sapovirus genotypes have been observed to infect humans. The aim of this study was to

Asymptomatic Shedding of Enteric Viruses in Young Children: Insights From a Year-Long Prospective Surveillance Study. [PDF]

J Med Virol
ABSTRACT Enteric viruses are a leading cause of gastroenteritis in young children. With the increasing use of multiplex PCR, these viruses are frequently detected in asymptomatic children. In this prospective study conducted from March 2024 to February 2025, rectal swabs were collected from children < 5 years with no history of diarrhea or vomiting in ...

Divergent Sapovirus Strains and Infection Prevalence in Wild Carnivores in the Serengeti Ecosystem: A Long-Term Study. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
The genus Sapovirus, in the family Caliciviridae, includes enteric viruses of humans and domestic animals. Information on sapovirus infection of wildlife is limited and is currently lacking for any free-ranging wildlife species in Africa.

Detection of Sapovirus in oysters [PDF]

Microbiology and Immunology, 2010
SaV sequences which are either genetically identical or similar were detected from oysters, feces from gastroenteritis patients, and domestic wastewater samples in geographically close areas. This is the first report of the detection of SaV in oysters which meet the legal requirements for raw consumption in Japan.

CD36 is a receptor for human sapovirus. [PDF]

Sci Adv
Human sapovirus (HuSaV) is a major cause of gastroenteritis but has long lacked a defined receptor. Here, we identify the scavenger receptor CD36 as essential for infection. Comparative transcriptomics identified CD36 as the key susceptibility factor. CRISPR knockout abolished replication, while ectopic expression restored permissiveness across diverse

Outbreak of Gastroenteritis Due to Sapovirus [PDF]

Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 2007
ABSTRACT An outbreak of gastroenteritis occurred at a kindergarten in Yokote City, Japan, between February 2006 and March 2006. Sapovirus was identified in 19 of 26 stool specimens by reverse transcription-PCR. A high viral shedding pattern was found for this strain, which was shown to be antigenically distinct from other genogroups.

Detection and phylogenetic analysis of porcine enteric calicivirus, genetically related to the Cowden strain of sapovirus genogroup III, in Brazilian swine herds Detecção e análise filogenética do calicivírus entérico suíno, geneticamente relacionado com a estirpe Cowden do genogrupo III do sapovírus, em rebanhos brasileiros

Pesquisa Veterinária Brasileira, 2008
Sapovirus of the Caliciviridae family is an important agent of acute gastroenteritis in children and piglets. The Sapovirus genus is divided into seven genogroups (G), and strains from the GIII, GVI and GVII are associated with infections in swine ...

Serological Humoral Immunity Following Natural Infection of Children with High Burden Gastrointestinal Viruses

Viruses, 2021
Acute gastroenteritis (AGE) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, resulting in an estimated 440,571 deaths of children under age 5 annually. Rotavirus, norovirus, and sapovirus are leading causes of childhood AGE.
