Systematic literature review and meta-analysis on preventing and controlling norovirus outbreaks on cruise ships, 1990 to 2020: calling for behaviour change strategies of travellers
ConclusionsThe findings indicate a need for behavioural interventions to improve personal hygiene, symptom reporting and compliance with isolation measures, and for reconsidering current isolation policies where symptomatic and healthy individuals are isolated in the same cabin.PMID:38456215 | DOI:10.2807/1560-7917.ES.2024.29.10.2300345 (Source: Euro Surveill)

PMAxx-RT-qPCR to Determine Human Norovirus Inactivation Following High-Pressure Processing of Oysters
In this study, RT-qPCR was used in conjunction with a derivative of the photoreactive DNA binding dye propidium monoazide (PMAxx ™) (PMAxx-RT-qPCR) to evaluate the viral capsid integrity of norovirus genogroup I and II (GI and GII) in shellfish following high pressure processing (HPP). Norovirus GI.3 and GII.4 bioaccumulated oysters were subjected to HPP at pressures of 300 and 450 MPa at 15 °C, and 300, 450 and 600 MP a at 20 °C. Samples were analysed using both RT-qPCR and PMAxx-RT-qPCR. For each sample, norovirus concentration (genome copies/g digestive tissue) determined by RT-qPCR was divided by the PMAxx-RT-...

Current trends and new approaches for human norovirus replication in cell culture: a literature review
AbstractHuman norovirus (HuNoV) is one of the world ’s leading causes of acute gastroenteritis. At present, effective reproduction of the virus in cell cultures remains a challenge for virologists, as there is a lack of a permissive cell line that allows the entire viral life cycle to be reproduced. This is a barrier to the study of the HuNoV life cycle, its tropism, and virus-host interactions. It is also a major hurdle for the development of viral detection platforms, and ultimately for the development of therapeutics. The lack of an inexpensive, technically simple, and easily implemented cultivation method also negati...

Evaluation of Extraction Methods to Detect Noroviruses in Ready-to-Eat Raw Milk Minas Artisanal Cheese
This study aimed to assess two homogenization methods to recover norovirus from Minas artisanal cheese (MAC) made with raw bovine milk obtained from four microregions of the Minas Gerais state, Brazil, with different ripening times and geographical and abiotic characteristics. For this purpose, 33 fiscal samples were artificially contaminated with norovirus GI and GII, and Mengovirus (MgV), used as an internal process control (IPC). TRIzol® reagent and Proteinase K homogenization methods were evaluated for all samples were then subjected to RNA extraction using viral magnetic beads and RT-qPCR Taqman® for viral detection...

Development and Evaluation of a Rapid GII Norovirus Detection Method Based on CRISPR-Cas12a
Pol J Microbiol. 2024 Mar 4;73(1):89-97. doi: 10.33073/pjm-2024-009. eCollection 2024 Mar 1.ABSTRACTNorovirus is highly infectious and rapidly transmissible and represents a major pathogen of sporadic cases and outbreaks of acute gastroenteritis worldwide, causing a substantial disease burden. Recent years have witnessed a dramatic increase in norovirus outbreaks in China, significantly higher than in previous years, among which GII norovirus is the predominant prevalent strain. Therefore, rapid norovirus diagnosis is critical for clinical treatment and transmission control. Hence, we developed a molecular assay based on R...
