George Armah,Christopher Gallimore,Fred Binka,Richard H. Asmah,Jonathan Green,Ucheoma Ugoji,Francis Anto,David Brown,Jim Gray +8 more
TL;DR: The data shown enhances understanding of NoV diversity in Ghanaian children and demonstrate the global spread of distinct common genotypes to African countries.

TL;DR: This study will allow an evaluation of methods to determine the community burden of IID by comparing the different approaches to estimate IID incidence in its linked components, and combines all the results to calibrate national surveillance data.
Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular characterization of rotaviruses circulating in the population in Turkey.
TL;DR: This is the first molecular epidemiology study of its kind to be carried out in Turkey and suggests a significant diversity of co-circulating rotavirus strains.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evaluation of the Loopamp® (loop-mediated isothermal amplification) kit for detecting Norovirus RNA in faecal samples
TL;DR: The Loopamp GII detection kit is a sensitive method for detecting all the commonly circulating GII-4 strains included in the evaluation panel and performed well compared to genogroup-specific real-time RT-PCR.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tracking the transmission routes of genogroup II noroviruses in suspected food-borne or environmental outbreaks of gastroenteritis through sequence analysis of the P2 domain.
TL;DR: The aim of this study was to apply sequence analysis of a hyper variable region of the norovirus (NoV) genome in order to identify point source outbreaks associated with suspect food or water and was able to identify a point source outbreak of a dominant strain on a cruise ship but also of a less common strain between two schools.
