## Abstract Outbreaks of gastroenteritis are a major public health problem in New Zealand. The introduction of molecular detection methods has now shown that the ‘Norwalk‐like viruses’ (NLVs) are the major cause of food and waterborne nonbacterial gastroenteritis. Reverse transcription and polymera

## Abstract Three viral gastroenteritis (VGE) outbreaks that occurred in 1998–1999, in Hungary were investigated for the presence of human caliciviruses (HuCVs). HuCVs in stool specimens were detected by reverse transcription‐polymerase chain reaction (RT‐PCR) using primer pair 289/290, which was d
The human caliciviruses (HuCVs), including Norovirus and Sapovirus, are recognized causes of acute gastroenteritis in children and adults. A 1-year study was undertaken in Blantyre, Malawi, to examine the prevalence, and genetic diversity, of human caliciviruses (HuCVs) amongst children under 5 year
## Abstract We have investigated the incidence of Norwalk‐like viruses (NLVs) associated with outbreaks of acute nonbacterial gastroenteritis in Osaka City, Japan, since April 1996 using reverse transcription (RT)‐PCR and electron microscopy methods. From the results of the first 3 years, between A
Human calicivirus was the first recognized viral agent causing gastroenteritis in humans. Norovirus (NV) and Sapovirus (SV), two genera within the Caliciviridae family, cause epidemic and endemic acute gastroenteritis in children and adults. The role of these viruses as a cause of sporadic acute gas
