Norovirus Epidemiology in Africa: A Review.

PloS one - 1 Jan 2016

Mans Janet, Armah George E, Steele A Duncan, Taylor Maureen B

Abstract excerpt

Norovirus (NoV) is recognised as a leading cause of gastroenteritis worldwide across all age groups. The prevalence and diversity of NoVs in many African countries is still unknown, although early sero-prevalence studies indicated widespread early infection. Reports on NoVs in Africa vary widely in terms of study duration, population groups and size, inclusion of asymptomatic controls, as well as genotyping...
