The list of recently discovered gastrointestinal viruses is expanding rapidly. Whether these
agents are actually involved in a disease such as diarrhea is the essential question, yet …

Birds are frequent sources of emerging human infectious diseases. Viral particles were
enriched from the feces of 51 wild urban pigeons (Columba livia) from Hong Kong and …

Background Although rotavirus is the leading cause of severe diarrhea among children in
sub-Saharan Africa, better knowledge of circulating enteric pathogenic bacteria and their …

Red foxes (Vulpes vulpes) are the most widespread members of the order of Carnivora.
Since they often live in (peri) urban areas, they are a potential reservoir of viruses that …

One-year surveillance for enteric viruses in raw sewage was conducted in Kansai area,
