Norovirus
Norovirus (previously referred to as Norwalk-like virus) is a single-stranded ribonucleic acid (RNA) virus within the family Caliciviridae. Infections with norovirus are sometimes called the “stomach flu” but it is not related to the virus causing influenza. There are six major types of norovirus with one type associated with the majority of worldwide outbreaks since the mid-1990s. Please visit the Norovirus section of our website for more information.
