Article Synopsis
- - Norovirus accounts for 18% of acute gastroenteritis (AGE) cases globally, and this study focuses on its incidence in Lima, Peru, while exploring the potential effects of introducing a norovirus vaccine.
- - In a 6-month study involving 498 healthy children aged 5 to 18 months, researchers found that 32% of AGE cases were positive for norovirus, with a significant number of co-infections from bacteria like Campylobacter and Salmonella.
- - The findings indicate that norovirus is a major cause of AGE in this population, highlighting the need for an effective vaccine to improve public health outcomes, especially given the high coverage of the oral rotavirus vaccine among the children studied.

View Article and Find Full Text PDFNext Generation Sequencing (NGS) is a new technology that could overcome some of the limitations of the current viral testing methods for demonstrating the absence of adventitious agents in biologics. This report is for the webinar that was organized by the International Alliance for Biological Standardization (IABS) and the Developing Countries Vaccine Manufacturers Network (DCVMN), held on July 20, 2022, as an introduction to the technical and bioinformatics concepts of NGS and to some of the strengths and limitations of using the technology for those working in vaccine production or development. The current state of scientific knowledge and readiness of NGS to replace or supplement the current viral tests was further discussed in the 3rd Conference on NGS for Adventitious Virus Detection in Biologics for Humans and Animals that was held in Rockville, Maryland, USA, on September 27-28, 2022.
