Norovirus (NV)

Target: NV
Molecular classification: Virus, RNA virus, Caliciviridae, Non-enveloped virus

Overview

Norovirus is a highly contagious RNA virus and the leading cause of acute gastroenteritis worldwide. It infects enterocytes in the small intestine, causing symptoms such as vomiting and diarrhea. Transmission occurs through direct contact, contaminated food or water, and contaminated surfaces. Prevention relies on hygiene practices like frequent handwashing.

Other names: Norwalk virusWinter vomiting diseaseStomach flu
