Abstract

In February 2001, episodes of acute gastroenteritis were reported to the Wyoming Department of Health from persons who had recently vacationed at a snowmobile lodge in Wyoming. A retrospective cohort study found a significant association between water consumption and illness, and testing identified Norwalk-like virus (NLV) in 8 of 13 stool samples and 1 well. Nucleotide sequences from the positive well-water specimen and 6 of the positive stool samples were identical. This multistrain NLV outbreak investigation illustrates the importance of NLV as a cause of waterborne illness and should encourage monitoring for NLVs in drinking water.

摘要

2001年2月，怀俄明州卫生部接到报告，一些近期在怀俄明州一家雪地车旅馆度假的人出现了急性肠胃炎症状。一项回顾性队列研究发现，饮水与疾病之间存在显著关联，检测在13份粪便样本中的8份以及1口井水中发现了诺如病毒（NLV）。从井水阳性样本和6份粪便阳性样本中提取的核苷酸序列相同。这次多毒株诺如病毒暴发调查说明了诺如病毒作为水源性疾病病因的重要性，应促使对饮用水中的诺如病毒进行监测。
