Human Norovirus in Artificial and Environmental Marine Water: Development of Antibody Based Rapid Methods
Norovirus (NoV) is the principal cause of viral gastroenteritis in the United States. It has been linked to filter-feeding molluscan shellfish, that bioaccumulate the virus from contaminated surrounding waters. The consumption of raw or undercooked contaminated oysters may result in acute …

Investigating the Effects of Glycochenodeoxycholic Acid on Mutant Murine Norovirus P-Domain Structure and Antibody Interactions
Viral gastroenteritis is most frequently caused by exposure to norovirus (NoV) through fecal–oral transfer resulting in severe vomiting and diarrhea lasting between 24 to 48 hours, yet for certain individuals, these infections can be fatal. With epidemic strains continuously emerging, it is …
