Virus-like particles (VLPs) used as vaccine antigens often elicit strong immune responses due to their intrinsic repetitive, high-density display of epitopes, and the fact that the mammalian immune system is highly attuned to recognizing particles in the size range of viruses (20-150 nm). To retain

To determine the importance of Norwalk-like viruses (NLVs) as pediatric pathogens in a developing country, the seroprevalence and seroincidence of this group of viruses in a cohort of children less than 4 years of age in an urban shantytown in northeastern Brazil was examined. Serum samples were col
## Abstract Norwalk virus (NV) and Norwalkβlike viruses (NLVs) are common etiologic agents of viral gastroenteritis. Viral gastroenteritis is a common disease that is highly transmissible, spreading rapidly through families, institutions, and communities. Because methods for in vitro cultivation of
## Abstract Endemic gastroenteritis associated with the Norwalkβlike viruses (NLVs) is little understood. This study tested for NLV in gastroenteritis cases in 257 households in Melbourne, Australia, for the period September 1997 to February 1999 by a reverse transcription hemiβnested polymerase ch
## Abstract Norwalk Virus and Norwalkβlike viruses (NLVs) are reportedly responsible for 2.5β4.0% of nonbacterial acute gastroenteritis (NBAG) worldwide. To help clarify the impact of NLVs on NBAG in Indonesia, stool specimens from 102 patients, 74 with NBAG and 28 with BAG, were screened for the p
The epidemiological picture of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection in the general population is largely unknown, even in developed countries. The aim of this study was to estimate the prevalence and genotype distribution of HCV amongst a large sample of the Italian general population. A total of 3,577
