Abstract
Acute Gastroenteritis Caused by GI/2 Sapovirus, Taiwan, 2007
Highlights
Many of the previously reported cases were of mild, sporadic infections in young children [1,2,3], several recent sapovirus-associated gastroenteritis outbreaks have affected adults, which suggests that the virus’s virulence, prevalence, or both, may be increasing [4,5,6]
We describe a sapovirus-associated outbreak of gastroenteritis that occurred during May 4–8, 2007, and involved college students in northern Taiwan
SaV124F, SaV1F, SaV5F, and SaV1245R primers as well as SaV124TP and SaV5TP minor-groove binding probes were used for real-time reverse transcription–PCR (RT-PCR) diagnosis, which targets the sapovirus RdRp-capsid junction region as described [7]
