TL;DR: The case of an expectant mother who had a febrile illness with rash at the end of the first trimester of pregnancy while she was living in Brazil and revealed microcephaly with calcifications in the fetal brain and placenta is described.

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
Rotavirus genotypes co-circulating in Europe between 2006 and 2009 as determined by EuroRotaNet, a pan-European collaborative strain surveillance network

TL;DR: The ability of the network to identify strains circulating with an incidence of ⩾1% allowed the identification of possible emerging strains such as G8 and G12 since the beginning of the study; analysis of recent data indicates their increased incidence.
Journal ArticleDOI

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

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.
