A Study on Norovirus-Related Research

Abstract

Norovirus is a major cause of viral diarrhea by foodborne infection. Its rapid mutation is mainly based on gene mutation, recombination. We will analyze from 4 aspects, structure and evolutionary characteristics, epidemic, main detection methods, current preventions. According to the study, pre-school children are vulnerable to norovirus each year in the child-care institutions. And the main detection is through fluorescent RT-PCR, and there are no approved vaccines or specific therapeutics to treat the disease.
