Molecular Characterization of Norovirus Circulating in Northwest Mexico During 2013-2014.

Norovirus (NoV) is an important etiological agent of diarrhea in children and adults. In Mexico, NoV screening is not routinely performed. NoV is highly infectious and is responsible for massive outbreaks due to the consumption of contaminated food.

Predominance of G9P[4] Rotavirus from Children with Acute Gastroenteritis in Northwestern Mexico.

In Mexico, group A rotavirus (RVA) infections remain the most common cause of severe dehydrating diarrhea in children. This study was conducted to examine the circulating RVA strains in the northwest region of Mexico. RVA strains collected from stool samples of children were genotyped, and their partial sequences were analyzed.
