Real Time PCR Detection Kit Norovirus genogroup 1

The Real Time PCR Detection Kit Norovirus genogroup 1 comprises a series of specific targeted reagents designed for Norovirus genogroup 1 detection by using qPCR.

GENERAL INFORMATION:Norovirus genogroup 1 (GI) is a non-enveloped, single-stranded RNA virus with icosahedral symmetry of the genus Norovirus, classified within the family Caliciviridae. The genus Norovirus contains a single species, Norwalk virus, which is divided into several genogroups. Noroviruses are the leading cause of acute viral gastroenteritis worldwide and primarily infect humans of all ages, although some genogroups can also infect animals.

Most human infections are caused by genogroup I and II viruses. Clinical manifestations include nausea, vomiting, watery diarrhoea, abdominal pain and occasionally fever, with symptoms typically resolving within 1 to 3 days. Transmission occurs primarily through the faecal-oral route, including ingestion of contaminated food or water, direct person-to-person contact, and contact with contaminated surfaces. Noroviruses are globally distributed and highly stable in the environment, which contributes to their ability to cause large and recurrent outbreaks.
