Article Synopsis
- Noroviruses are major causes of gastroenteritis globally, and recent research indicates that new recombinant strains are changing the patterns of these infections, particularly in Brazil.
- The study analyzed 534 cases of gastroenteritis among Brazilian children, identifying a 31.8% prevalence of noroviruses and discovering nine different genotypes, including two previously unreported ones in Brazil.
- Findings suggest that evolving noroviruses are increasingly replacing older strains, leading to greater viral adaptability and potential for increased transmission and illness severity.
