Epidemiology of Rotavirus-Norovirus Co-Infection and Determination of Norovirus Genogrouping among Children with Acute Gastroenteritis in Tehran, Iran
Background: Enteric viruses, particularly human rotavirus and norovirus, have been shown to replace bacteria and parasites, as the most common pathogens responsible for acute diarrhea. However, there are still few epidemiological data on the simultaneous occurrence of these viruses in Iran. In this regard, the aim of this study was to assess the useful epidemiological data on the gastroenteriti...
متن کاملStructural analysis of bovine norovirus protruding domain.
We determined a structure of a bovine (genogroup III, GIII) norovirus capsid protruding (P) domain using X-ray crystallography. The bovine P domain was reminiscent of other norovirus genogroups (GI, GII, GIV, and GV), but closely matched the human GI P domain. We also identified a monoclonal antibody that was capable of binding the five different (GI-GV) P domains. Our data suggests that geneti...
متن کاملPredicting susceptibility to norovirus GII.4 by use of a challenge model involving humans.
BACKGROUND GII.4 is the predominant norovirus genotype worldwide. Challenge models involving humans have shown the association of human histo-blood group antigens (HBGAs) and susceptibility to infection with Norwalk virus (GI.1 norovirus), but the association of HBGAs and infection with other noroviruses is based on results of epidemiological studies. We performed the first GII.4 challenge stud...
متن کاملNorovirus Gastroenteritis in a Birth Cohort in Southern India
BACKGROUND Noroviruses are an important cause of gastroenteritis but little is known about disease and re-infection rates in community settings in Asia. METHODS Disease, re-infection rates, strain prevalence and genetic susceptibility to noroviruses were investigated in a birth cohort of 373 Indian children followed up for three years. Stool samples from 1856 diarrheal episodes and 147 vomiti...
متن کاملA Narrative Review of Norovirus Gastroenteritis: More Global Attention Is Needed
Noroviruses (NoVs), an important pathogenic agent of foodborne illness, lead to acute and chronic gastroenteritis in humans of all ages and to travelers’ diarrhea. Many genotypes exist in nature; GII.4 is widely known as the most predominant. Outbreaks mostly occur in semi-closed settings. Although the disease is self-limited to person, many cases have resulted in death, which has raised more c...
