absolute humidity influences the seasonal persistence and infectivity of human norovirus. | norovirus (nov) is one of the main causative agents of acute gastroenteritis worldwide. in temperate climates, outbreaks peak during the winter season. the mechanism by which climatic factors influence the occurrence of nov outbreaks is unknown. we hypothesized that humidity is linked to nov seasonality. human nov is not cultivatable, so we used cultivatable murine norovirus (mnv) as a surrogate to study its persistence when exposed to various levels of relative humidity (rh) from low (10% rh) t ... | 2014 | 25217015 |
