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.
Journal ArticleDOI
Longitudinal study of infectious intestinal disease in the UK (IID2 study): incidence in the community and presenting to general practice
Clarence C. Tam,Laura C. Rodrigues,Laura Viviani,Julie Dodds,Meirion Rhys Evans,Paul R. Hunter,Jim Gray,Louise Letley,Greta Rait,D. S. Tompkins,Sarah J. O'Brien +10 more
TL;DR: It is estimated that there are up to 17 million sporadic, community cases of IID and 1 million GP consultations annually in the UK and control efforts must focus particularly on reducing the burden due to Campylobacter and enteric viruses.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rotavirus genotyping: keeping up with an evolving population of human rotaviruses
TL;DR: Methods and oligonucleotide primers are described to overcome failures to type G9, G 10 and P[11] rotavirus strains, and cross-reactivity identified between G10 and G3 rotaviruses.
Journal ArticleDOI
Detection by PCR of eight groups of enteric pathogens in 4,627 faecal samples: re-examination of the English case-control Infectious Intestinal Disease Study (1993–1996)
TL;DR: Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assays were applied to DNA and cDNA generated from faecal samples from cases and controls archived during the original study for the detection of norov virus, rotavirus, sapovirus, Campylobacter spp.
Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular Characterization of VP6 Genes of Human Rotavirus Isolates: Correlation of Genogroups with Subgroups and Evidence of Independent Segregation
TL;DR: Molecular characterization of the SG-defining region of VP6 provided evidence for independent segregation of the rotavirus genes encoding VP4, VP6, and VP7, and revealed two clusters, or genogroups.
