Use of Norovirus Genotype Profiles to Differentiate Origins of Foodborne Outbreaks

Use of Norovirus Genotype Profiles to Differentiate Origins of Foodborne Outbreaks

Because secondary transmission masks the connection between sources and outbreaks, estimating the proportion of foodborne norovirus infections is difficult. We studied whether norovirus genotype frequency distributions (genotype profiles) can enhance detection of the sources of foodborne outbreaks....
