A new serotype of calicivirus associated with an outbreak of gastroenteritis in a residential home for the elderly

W D Cubitt et al. J Clin Pathol. 1981 Aug.

Abstract

An outbreak of gastroenteritis involving residents and members of staff in a nursing home for the elderly is described. The agent associated with this episode was a calicivirus which is serologically distinct from two strains causing gastroenteritis in children. We believe that this is the first report of calicivirus infection in adults.
