## Abstract The application of the reverse transcriptase poly‐ merase chain reaction (RT‐PCR) has enabled several morphologically and physically similar small round structured viruses (SRSVs), including the prototype Norwalk virus (NV), to be classified within the __Caliciviridae__. This technique,

## 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

Small round-structured viruses (SRSVs) are a genetically and antigenically diverse group of caliciviruses that are the most common cause of outbreaks of acute nonbacterial gastroenteritis. We have applied both molecular techniques to characterize SRSVs in fecal specimens and serologic assays using f
