A food‐borne outbreak of gastroenteritis due to genotype G1P[8] rotavirus among adolescents in Japan

Abstract: Six high school students in Tochigi prefecture, Japan, developed gastroenteritis after eating at a pork cutlet shop. Molecular epidemiologic analyses showed that the causative agent was genotype G1P [8] rotavirus (RV), this being detected in stool samples from both the patients and the asymptomatic food handlers. The detected RV strains were closely related genetically. The only uncooked food that all victims had eaten was raw sliced cabbage. These findings results suggest that uncooked foods contaminated with… Show more

“…In this study, we investigated the distribution of astrovirus, rotavirus, norovirus and hepatitis E virus in farmed swine in Italy, because all of them have been previously associated with severe diseases of humans and animals worldwide [5,21,39] and may be a cause of foodborne human infections [40][41][42].…”
