Gastroenteritis
Research on gastroenteritis discussed by G. Reuter and co-researchers
August 5th, 2008
"Noroviruses are common pathogens in human gastroenteritis outbreaks worldwide. They belong to a genetically diverse group of RNA viruses with multiple genogroups (G) and genotypes," scientists writing in the Journal of Clinical Virology report. "Genotype GII-4 norovirus (Lordsdale) is the predominant agent in epidemics. To investigate the genetic variation in GII-4 strains isolated during seven epidemic seasons in Hungary from November 2000 to June 2007. Using the prospective epidemiological surveillance of norovirus outbreaks in Hungary, GII-4 strains were selected for further genetic analysis. After phylogenetic analysis, RNA-polymerase (open reading frame 1;...
