Journal ArticleDOI
Norovirus Illness Is a Global Problem: Emergence and Spread of Norovirus GII.4 Variants, 2001–2007
J. Joukje Siebenga,Harry Vennema,Du-Ping Zheng,Jan Vinjé,Bonita E. Lee,Xiao-Li Pang,Eric C.M. Ho,Wilina Lim,Avinash Choudekar,Shobha Broor,Tamar Halperin,Nassar B. G. Rasool,Joanne Hewitt,Gail E.

TL;DR: Establishing a global NoV network by which data on strains with the potential to cause pandemics can be rapidly exchanged may lead to improved prevention and intervention strategies, and show notable differences in geographic prevalence.
Journal ArticleDOI
International Collaborative Study To Compare Reverse Transcriptase PCR Assays for Detection and Genotyping of Noroviruses
Jan Vinjé,Harry Vennema,Leena Maunula,Carl-Henrik von Bonsdorff,Marina Hoehne,Eckart Schreier,Alison F. Richards,J. Green,David W. Brown,Suzanne S. Beard,Stephan S. Monroe,Erwin de Bruin,Lennart Svensson,Marion Koopmans +13 more
TL;DR: No one single assay stood out as the best, although the p1 assay demonstrated the most satisfactory overall performance, and will be recommended for newly starting groups in future collaborative studies to promote comparability of data.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antibodies in Human Sera Specific to Hypervariable Region 1 of Hepatitis C Virus Can Block Viral Attachment
TL;DR: Findings suggest that the majority of neutralizing antibodies are directed against HVR1, the hypervariable region 1 within the putative envelop protein E2 of hepatitis C virus.
Journal ArticleDOI
Analysis of Integrated Virological and Epidemiological Reports of Norovirus Outbreaks Collected within the Foodborne Viruses in Europe Network from 1 July 2001 to 30 June 2006

TL;DR: The consecutive emergence of new GII.4 variants is highly indicative of immune-driven selection, and their predominance in health care settings suggests properties that facilitate transmission in settings with a high concentration of people such as higher virus loads in excreta or a higher incidence of vomiting.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sustained virological response in hepatitis C virus type 1b infected patients is predicted by the number of mutations within the NS5A-ISDR: a meta-analysis focused on geographical differences
TL;DR: The concept that mutant-type ISDR strains may represent a subtype within genotype 1b with a more favourable response towards IFN therapy is supported.
