Sapoviruses cause acute gastroenteritis in humans and animals. They belong to the genus
Sapovirus within the family Caliciviridae. They infect and cause disease in humans of all …

Noroviruses are small, positive-sense RNA viruses within the family Caliciviridae, and are
now accepted widely as a major cause of acute gastroenteritis in both developed and …

Enteric viruses like norovirus, rotavirus and astrovirus have long been accepted as
spreading in the population through fecal–oral transmission: viruses are shed into feces …

In enteric viral infections, such as those with rotavirus and norovirus, individual viral particles
shed in stool are considered the optimal units of fecal-oral transmission. We reveal that …

The mammalian intestine is colonized by beneficial commensal bacteria and is a site of
infection by pathogens, including helminth parasites. Helminths induce potent …

Aims To investigate the antiviral efficacy of oregano oil and its primary active component,
carvacrol, against the nonenveloped murine norovirus (MNV), a human norovirus surrogate …

Human noroviruses are recognised as the major global cause of viral gastroenteritis. Here,
we provide an overview of notable advances in norovirus research and provide a short …

Small RNA viruses have evolved many mechanisms to increase the capacity of their short
genomes. Here we describe the identification and characterization of a novel open reading …

Human noroviruses are a major cause of diarrheal illness, but pathogenesis is poorly
understood. Here, we investigate the cellular tropism of norovirus in specimens from four …

Noroviruses are important human pathogens known to cause epidemic outbreaks of severe
gastroenteritis in communities, military barracks, cruise ships, hospitals, and assisted living …
