## 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 Noroviruses (NoVs) are the most common cause of acute non‐bacterial gastroenteritis outbreaks in the US. We investigated 16 gastroenteritis outbreaks in North Carolina (NC), from 1995 to 2000, to further characterize the epidemiology of NoV using RT‐PCR on stool and ELISA on sera. NoV w
## Abstract Norovirus was identified in 30 of 59 gastroenteritis outbreaks occurring in the state of Victoria, Australia in 2001 by RT‐PCR and/or electron microscopy (EM). Norovirus outbreaks occurred in hostels/nursing homes (27%), hospitals (13%), youth refuges (3%), social gatherings associated
## Abstract The epidemiology of GIIb norovirus outbreaks and the characteristics of GIIb open reading frame (ORF) 2 recombinant forms are poorly understood and this study examined these questions using norovirus‐associated gastroenteritis outbreaks in Victoria, Australia, during 2002–2005. Twenty‐o
## Abstract Noroviruses (Norwalk‐like viruses (NLV)) are recognised as major causes of acute gastroenteritis worldwide. Numerous studies had been carried out on the molecular epidemiology of norovirus in outbreaks but relatively few on sporadic cases. In this study, the molecular epidemiology of no
