Abstract
Human noroviruses are the major cause of acute gastroenteritis in the western world and contaminated hands are important routes for their transmission. Quantitative data on transfer during contact with surfaces and food are scarce but necessary for quantitative risk assessments. Therefore, we studied the transfer of PCR detectable units (PCRU) of human NoVs representatives of the main genogroups (GI.4 and GII.4) from fingers to fomites and vice versa. These data were compared to infectivity and PCRU data for the cultivable model murine norovirus (MNV1).
