Rotavirus virus-like particles as surrogates in environmental persistence and inactivation studies

Article Abstract:

The virus-like particles (VLPs) along with the total length VP2 and VP6 rotavirus capsid proteins are formed in the baculovirus expression system and are analyzed as surrogates of human rotavirus in various environmental situations. The UV dose is induced to have a 90 percent drop in the pseudovirus, which promises a 99.99 percent inactivation of infectious rotavirus in any kind of water.

Gastroenteritis outbreak caused by waterborne norovirus at a New Zealand ski resort

Article Abstract:

The virological investigation of an outbreak of noroviruses (NoV) gastroenteritis at a New Zealand ski resort is described. Ultrafiltration combined with quantitative real-time reverse transcription-PCR (RT-PCR) and DNA sequencing is used for examining the waterborne NoV outbreak.
