Characterization of "Norwalk-like viruses" and astroviruses by liquid hybridization assay.

Abstract excerpt

"Norwalk-like viruses" (NLVs) and human astroviruses are causative agents of gastroenteritis in all age-groups. The typing of these agents is generally done by nucleotide sequencing, blot hybridization, or enzyme immunoassay. These techniques are expensive, time-consuming, and sometimes require scarce reagents, which limits the typing of NLVs and astroviruses to a few reference laboratories. This report describes...
