TL;DR: With increasing numbers of complete RV genome sequences becoming available, a standardized RV strain nomenclature system is needed, and the RCWG proposes that individual RV strains are named as follows: RV group/species of origin/country of identification/common name/year of identification /G- and P-type.

TL;DR: Data from ten European countries show a striking increase and unusual seasonal pattern of norovirus gastroenteritis in 2002 that occurred concurrently with the emergence of a novel genetic variant, raising questions about the biological properties of the variant and the mechanisms for its rapid dissemination.

TL;DR: In this article, the development of a vaccine for norovirus requires a detailed understanding of global genetic diversity of noroviruses and their epidemiology and diversity using surveillance data from the NoroNet network.

TL;DR: The hypothesis that RV-induced secretion of serotonin by enterochromaffin (EC) cells plays a key role in the emetic reflex during RV infection resulting in activation of vagal afferent nerves connected to nucleus of the solitary tract and area postrema in the brain stem is addressed.

TL;DR: It is recommended that respiratory and stool samples in addition to cerebrospinal fluid and blood samples are submitted for EV testing from patients with suspected neurological infections and reverse transcriptase PCR targeting the 5'noncoding regions (5'NCR) should be used for diagnosis of EVs.
