Article Synopsis
- Norovirus (NoV) is a leading cause of non-bacterial gastroenteritis outbreaks, and traditional genotyping methods may provide limited and potentially misleading data.
- A new method combining NoV capture and next-generation sequencing (NGS) significantly increased the detection of NoV, achieving over 90% genome coverage in many samples.
- This improved approach allowed for the identification of more genotypes and the discovery of a new NoV recombinant, enhancing the accuracy of outbreak investigations and its potential use for studying other viruses in stool samples.
Despite the introduction of safe, effective vaccines decades ago and joint global public health efforts to eliminate measles, this vaccine-preventable disease continues to pose threats to children's health worldwide. During 2013 and 2014, measles virus was introduced into Denmark through several independent importations. This resulted in a number of secondary cases (n=7), with two clusters in 2013 and one in 2014.
