Application of PCR to detect Norwalk virus in fecal specimens from outbreaks of gastroenteritis
1 Mar 1994
Abstract excerpt
Norwalk virus (NV) and other small round-structured viruses (SRSVs) are frequent causes of gastroenteritis outbreaks. The recent cloning and sequencing of the NV genome has made it possible to detect NV and Norwalk-related viruses from fecal specimens by reverse transcription (RT)-PCR. We applied this technique to the examination of a total of 139 fecal specimens from 19 outbreaks characterized by NV serology,...
