The Norwalk virus is an enterovirus with pronounced eco-epidemiological traits. It causes acute gastroenteritis with nausea, vomiting, fever, and myalgia that lasts 24-48 hours. The virus is transmitted through fecal-oral contact. The Norwalk virus is well established as the chief cause of viral gastroenteritis epidemics. The disease occurs throughout the year without a seasonal predominance. 

In the United States, the Norwalk virus is estimated to cause approximately 40% of cases of nonbacterial gastroenteritis. The Norwalk virus is, then, the leading cause of viral gastroenteritis in the United States. January 1, 2002, to December 2, 2002 Norwalk virus was attributed to 9 of the 21 outbreaks of acute gastroenteritis on cruise ships reported to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Pre-...
