A Narrative Review of Norovirus Gastroenteritis: More Global Attention Is Needed
نویسندگان
چکیده مقاله:
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 concerns. However, a lack of microbial culture techniques limits research and thus knowledge about these viruses. To date, there are no specific antiviral drugs that fight NoVs. Rehydration is the ideal approach at present for severe cases. The only way to prevent infection is to improve personal hygiene. So many variants and ambiguous evolution mechanisms make research for a vaccine much more difficult. In recent years, several vaccine candidates entered pre-clinical development. This review concentrates on summarizing the aspects of NoV structure, culture, genetic evolution, and the vaccine.

متن کاملGlobal Economic Burden of Norovirus Gastroenteritis.
BACKGROUND Despite accounting for approximately one fifth of all acute gastroenteritis illnesses, norovirus has received comparatively less attention than other infectious pathogens. With several candidate vaccines under development, characterizing the global economic burden of norovirus could help funders, policy makers, public health officials, and product developers determine how much attent...
متن کاملNorovirus gastroenteritis in immunocompromised patients.
Copyright © 2012 Massachusetts Medical Society. Infectious gastroenteritis is a common, acute illness that is characteristically self-limiting, but it can become debilitating and life-threatening in immunocompromised patients.1 Noroviruses are major pathogens among the microbes associated with gastroenteritis in both immunocompetent and immunocompromised hosts1-4 (Table 1). In the United States...
متن کاملEpidemiology 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 کاملEmergence of a new norovirus genotype II.4 variant associated with global outbreaks of gastroenteritis.
Norovirus (NoV) is highly infectious and is the major cause of outbreak gastroenteritis in adults, with pandemic spread of the virus being reported in 1995 and 2002. The NoV genome is genetically diverse, which has hampered development of sensitive molecular biology-based methods. In this study we report on a nested reverse transcriptase PCR (nRT-PCR) that was designed to amplify the highly con...

Editorials 634 Worldwide, cerebrovascular accidents (stroke) are the second leading cause of death and the third leading cause of disability. 1 Stroke, the sudden death of some brain cells due to lack of oxygen when the blood flow to the brain is lost by blockage or rupture of an artery to the brain, is also a leading cause of dementia and depression. 2 Globally, 70% of strokes and 87% of both ...
