Secretor Status Strongly Influences the Incidence of Symptomatic Norovirus Infection in a Genotype-Dependent Manner in a Nicaraguan Birth Cohort

Yaoska Reyes et al.

Summary: This study found that histo-blood group status plays an important role in the burden and severity of norovirus gastroenteritis in young infants, with secretor children being more susceptible to GII norovirus and GII.4 causing more severe symptoms.

Risk Factors for Norovirus Infections and Their Association with Childhood Growth: Findings from a Multi-Country Birth Cohort Study

Parag Palit et al.

Summary: The prevalence of norovirus infections and their association with childhood diarrhea in different geographical locations is well established. However, there are no reports on the relationship between different norovirus genogroups and subsequent childhood malnutrition. In this study, we found a potential association between asymptomatic norovirus infections and childhood growth faltering, highlighting the need for accelerated development of vaccines to minimize the long-term impact on child growth.

Enteric viruses replicate in salivary glands and infect through saliva

S. Ghosh et al.

Summary: This study reveals a new transmission route for enteric viruses through salivary glands, finding that infected infants can transmit the viruses to their mothers' mammary glands through saliva, leading to an increase in secretory IgA antibodies in maternal milk.

Characteristics of GII.4 Norovirus Versus Other Genotypes in Sporadic Pediatric Infections in Davidson County, Tennessee, USA

Zaid Haddadin et al.

Summary: The study found that approximately 40% of sporadic pediatric norovirus cases were caused by GII.4 norovirus, which led to more severe symptoms requiring more medical care. Additionally, seasonal variations were observed among different genotypes, highlighting the importance of continuous norovirus surveillance and informing the development of pediatric norovirus vaccines.

Single-step RT-PCR assay for dual genotyping of GI and GII norovirus strains

Preeti Chhabra et al.

Summary: This study validated a one-step conventional RT-PCR assay for dual typing of GI and GII noroviruses, successfully genotyping most known genotypes infecting humans. The use of broadly reactive genotyping assays greatly enhances the exchange of standardized genotype data globally to monitor trends in genotype diversity, which is essential for vaccine development and impact measurement.

Risk Factors and Clinical Profile of Sapovirus-associated Acute Gastroenteritis in Early Childhood A Nicaraguan Birth Cohort Study

Nadja A. Vielot et al.

Summary: Sapovirus is a common etiology of acute gastroenteritis in Central America, with risk factors including contact with individuals with AGE symptoms and vaginal delivery. Cases of sapovirus AGE typically experience diarrhea lasting about 6 days, often with co-infections such as diarrheagenic Escherichia coli or astrovirus. The clinical profile of sapovirus AGE is similar in severity to AGE caused by other etiologies, with a novel finding of an association with vaginal delivery. Further investigation into biological mechanisms is needed to explore this relationship.

Norovirus Vaccines: Current Clinical Development and Challenges

Ming Tan

Summary: Developing a broadly effective norovirus vaccine is challenging due to the genetic and antigenic diversity of noroviruses, as well as the lack of robust cell culture systems and reliable immune markers for vaccine evaluation. Current vaccine candidates, focusing on recombinant VP1-based virus-like particles, have shown safety, immunogenicity, and protective efficacy, indicating a high likelihood of successful norovirus vaccine development.
