Abstract excerpt
Noroviruses (NoVs) are major causes of acute viral gastroenteritis at all ages worldwide. The molecular epidemiology of sporadic cases remains poorly understood, especially in adults. Additionally, no studies have analyzed the transmission route in sporadic acute gastroenteritis. In this study, we investigated cases of very mild sporadic NoV acute gastroenteritis in adults (medical staff) who do not visit the...
