Presence of antibodies against genogroup VI norovirus in humans.


ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: Noroviruses are important enteric pathogens in humans and animals. Recently, we reported a novel canine norovirus (CaNoV) in dogs with diarrhea belonging to a new genogroup (GVI). No data are available on exposure of humans to this virus. METHODS: Sera from 373 small animal veterinarians and 120 age-matched population controls were tested for IgG antibodies to CaNoV by a recombinant virus like particle based enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. RESULTS: Antibodies to CaNoV were found in 22.3% of the veterinarians and 5.8% of the control group (p?
