Norovirus: Outbreaks, Molecular Epidemiology and Vaccine Development

/

Norovirus was first identified in 1968 during an AGE outbreak in Ohio, later characterized and sequenced in the early 1990s. It causes significant illness globally, particularly in developing regions. Challenges for vaccine development include the virus’s genetic diversity and lack of reliable culture systems. Current research focuses on candidate vaccines targeting multiple genotypes.
