Porcine noroviruses (NoVs) and sapoviruses (SaVs), which belong to the family Caliciviridae, have been considered potential zoonotic agents for human infection, and several cases have been reported in Asian countries. In this study, a total of 537 porcine fecal samples collected from 64 swine farms in Korea were tested. Among 537 samples, porcine NoVs were detected by semi-nested RT-PCR in ten samples (1.9%), and porcine SaVs were detected by RT-PCR in 60 samples (11.2%), showing their circulation in Korea. The porcine NoVs were genetically related to strains of genotypes 11 and 18, of genogroup II (GII) of the genus Norovirus. The porcine SaV strains were genetically related to the porcine enteric calicivirus Cowden strain and to the previously identified Korean porcine strains in genogroup III (GIII) of the genus Sapovirus. In no case was co-infection with both NoV and SaV observed in one pig. This is the first report describing porcine NoVs identified in Korea.

Norovirus (NoV) causing gastroenteritis symptoms, which has been reported in several hosts, including humans, pigs, and rats. This study was conducted to identify porcine viral infection and to characterize NoV strains from pigs in some provinces in north Vietnam. Totally, 102 fecal samples from diarrheal pigs on farms in six cities and provinces in northern Vietnam during July 2022 to March 2023 were collected.

Article Synopsis
- - Noroviruses (NoVs) are a leading cause of viral gastroenteritis, and researchers are exploring virus-like particles (VLPs) as potential vaccines to prevent NoV infections.
- - A new study utilized a silkworm-expression vector system to efficiently produce a major structural protein of NoV, VP1, successfully generating a large quantity of this protein from just five silkworm pupae.
- - The produced VP1 protein formed functional VLPs that were effective in eliciting protective antibodies, demonstrating the potential of silkworm-BEVS for developing vaccines against NoVs.
This study investigated the prevalence, distribution, and genotypes of adenoviruses (AdVs) and noroviruses (NoVs) in the Puzi River and surrounding areas in Taiwan. The viruses in the water samples were isolated using the membrane filtration method and the viral nucleic acids were extracted. The RNA of NoVs was reverse-transcribed into complementary DNA using reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction.

Noroviruses (NoVs) are one of the major causative agents of non-bacterial gastroenteritis in humans worldwide. NoVs, belonging to Caliciviridae, are classified into ten genogroups (G) and eight P-groups based on major capsid protein (VP1) and of the RNA-dependent-RNA-polymerase (RdRp), respectively. In swine, the main genogroup and P-group identified are GII and GII.

Norovirus (NoV) has emerged as one of the major causative agents of non-bacterial, food- and water-borne gastroenteritis in humans, with the main genogroup involved in human outbreaks (GII), which has been detected worldwide in different animal species including swine. A four-month investigation at the slaughterhouse aiming to examine the presence of NoV in the swine in North-Eastern Italy, enabled the detection of two divergent Noroviruses (NoVs) (GII.P11) in two swine farms.
