Abstract:
Noroviruses were discovered in 1972 and have since been recognized as one of the leading causes of acute gastroenteritis epidemics and outbreaks worldwide, becoming a global public health problem. Over the past 50 years, there has been considerable understanding of the clinical, epidemiological, and pathogenic features of norovirus infection, but to date there has been a failure to establish effective in vitro culture and experimental animal models, resulting in limited studies of its infection and pathogenic mechanisms, and no specific vaccines and drugs available. With the global application of rotavirus vaccines, noroviruses become an important public health challenge that is yet to be controlled urgently after rotavirus.
