Human Intestinal Enteroids Used to Detect Norovirus Infectivity

Human norovirus accounts for 18% of acute gastroenteritis cases worldwide. Molecular nucleic acid tests, such as real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (rRT-PCR), are widely used for laboratory diagnosis of norovirus RNA in clinical samples. More...
