Hospital clear of virus - News - Weston Mercury
The norovirus had caused disruption to several hospital wards since the first outbreak in mid-December.
_________________________
Genogroup I and II noroviruses are non enveloped and single strand RNA viruses. These human enteric viruses are responsible for most of viral gastroenteritis outbreaks and pathogenic for all age groups of the population. Noroviruses are very infectious; one to ten viral particles are sufficient to get sick. Their mode of transmission is the feco-oral route. After excretion in human stool, due to their structural properties, noroviruses can resist to different physical and chemical treatment.
Adsorbed on particles, noroviruses can survive in different kind of environment for a long period. Food samples can be contaminated via food handlers or by the environment. Due to their structural properties, noroviruses can survive to different food process. The consumption of contaminated food can lead to human outbreaks.
There is no cell culture system available for the multiplication of human noroviruses. The detection by ELISA is not recommended due to norovirus genetic diversity and its lack of sensitivity. Molecular techniques (real time RT-PCR) are the method of choice for NoV detection after extraction and viral RNA purification from the sample.
ceeramTools™ novovirus GII assay is based on real-time PCR. Real-time PCR is a proven method for pathogen detection and has been applied successfully to a wide range of foodborne pathogens. The method tests for food pathogens by amplifying and detecting a RNA target sequence that is specific to Norovirus. Detection is quick, simple, and with outstanding sensitivity and specificity. Shelf-Life : 360 days.

Norovirus is extremely contagious and has no specific treatment. The public was asked to contact their GP or GP Out of Hours service so that the emergency department could attend to emergency cases only.

Norovirus Is Leading Cause of U.S. Hospital Infectious Outbreaks: Report
Norovirus infections accounted for 18.2 percent of outbreaks and 65 percent of closures of hospital wards during 2008 and 2009, according to the study published in the American Journal of Infection Control. The report was compiled by researchers from the Association for Professionals in Infection Control and Epidemiology Consulting Services and the Lexington Insurance Company.

"The most important message we have right now is that people who are ill with vomiting or diarrhea should not work, go to school or attend daycare while they are having symptoms, "said State Epidemiologist Dr. Megan Davies. "Everyone needs to wash their hands frequently and thoroughly with soap and water. This is the most effective way to protect yourself and others against norovirus since hand sanitizers alone are not as effective against this hardy virus."
