Twelve outbreaks of food handler-associated gastroenteritis between November 2002 and March 2006 in Japan were examined for norovirus (NoV) using RT-PCR and sequence analysis. NoV was detected in 77 of 81 customers and 45 of 104 food handlers. Identical NoV sequences were detected in patients and food handlers in each outbreak.
2002年11月至2006年3月期间,在日本发生的12起与食品处理人员相关的肠胃炎疫情中,采用逆转录聚合酶链反应(RT-PCR)和序列分析对诺如病毒(NoV)进行了检测。在81名顾客中的77名以及104名食品处理人员中的45名检测到了诺如病毒。在每起疫情中,患者和食品处理人员身上检测到了相同的诺如病毒序列。
