Importantly, one common cleaner will not prevent stomach bugs. Alcohol-based hand sanitisers won’t work against norovirus due to the structure of the virus itself, explains Prof Hunter.

Norovirus has been linked to twelve outbreaks on cruise ships this year, sickening nearly 1,500 people, according to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. This number surpasses ...

We are gratified to have determined the first crystal structure of GII.17 protease and demonstrated broad-spectrum antiviral activity of CDI-988 against newly circulating major norovirus GII.17 ...

A new discovery brings us a step closer to developing a vaccine and treatment for a widespread virus. Credit: Centers for Disease Control Researchers have identified antibodies that could lead to a ...

Norovirus spreads easily through contaminated food, water and surfaces, often causing outbreaks in schools, cruise ships and healthcare facilities. A vaccine that protects against multiple strains ...

Their new study, published in Science Translational Medicine, identifies powerful antibodies capable of neutralizing a wide range of norovirus strains. The finding could lead to the design of broadly ...

People in the U.K. who have already had norovirus this season could still be at risk due to a shift in circulating strains, according to new data from the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA).

Norovirus symptoms come on strong and make for a few extremely unpleasant days of vomiting, diarrhea and nausea. People tend to be fine once they’re through it. But it can be harder on the ...

However, one common cleaner is not effective against norovirus. Alcohol-based hand sanitisers won’t kill norovirus due to the structure of the virus itself, Prof Hunter explains.

Why don't sanitizers work against the norovirus? The structure that encloses the virus—the capsid—protects the virus and makes it more resistant to alcohol-based sanitizers.

What is norovirus? Norovirus is a type of virus that typically infects the gastrointestinal tract and can infect individuals of all ages. It's very contagious and it has a “shell” (capsid) surrounding ...
