Abstract

Noroviruses (NoV) are now recognized as one of the most common causes of foodborne gastroenteritis worldwide. Transmission of NoV is via the fecal-oral route, and can be direct from person to person or indirect via food or surfaces. A NoV infection is likely to lead to severe vomiting and diarrhea and the outbreaks follow a pattern of winter-seasonality. The small nonenveloped particles are stable outside the host, and may persist on inanimate surfaces, in water, and on food. Most foodborne NoV infections are related to consumption of bivalve mollusks, ready-to-eat foods, and fresh produce contaminated by infected food handlers.
