Homologous versus Heterologous Immune Responses to Norwalk‐Like Viruses among Crew Members after Acute Gastroenteritis Outbreaks on 2 US Navy Vessels
15 Jan 2003
Abstract excerpt
Host immune responses to human caliciviruses are difficult to study because of the lack of a clear definition of antigenic or serological types. This report describes antibody responses to several Norwalk-like viruses in large outbreaks of acute gastroenteritis on 2 US Navy ships. Enzyme immunoassays (EIAs) were used to measure antibody responses. To understand the antibody response to a homologous strain causing...
