Abstract
Norovirus is a highly contagious virus and stands as the primary cause of acute gastroenteritis leading to vomiting and diarrhea across all age groups in the United States. Outbreaks of norovirus are especially common during the winter months and, in certain instances, can result in severe illness. This webinar provides an in-depth exploration of the latest insights on norovirus, covering both its clinical and molecular epidemiology. We will examine effective strategies for managing norovirus outbreaks to halt transmission, delve into current treatment options, and discuss candidate vaccines under development. Additionally, the webinar will highlight the importance of diagnostic tests for the swift and precise detection of norovirus infections. We will also identify key challenges that persist in enhancing the control of norovirus-related illnesses.
