In Prevention section, there is no information about preparation of food?
Boiling for some minutes probably destroyes the Norovirus. But is buying freeze-dried food safe? For example freeze-dried tomatoes insteas of fresh tomatoes.

Molecular Details and Immune Response
I think it would be beneficial to explore the molecular mechanisms of infection in greater detail, specifically the types of receptors necessary for entry and what happens during an immune response to the virus within the host. I think this article also needs to explore the severity of Norovirus infection in nations where clean drinking water is limited. Here are a list of sources that I think could contribute to this new information. Something that could be investigated could be genetic predisposition to infection -- are there certain areas of the world where polymorphisms for cell receptors are more likely to prevent Norovirus infection?

CDC reports for common outbreak settings

specifics on the molecular mechanisms for attachment and entry into host cells.

Explores immune response to human Norovirus based on murine models of the disease. Claims that Norovirus can not be grown in cell culture, which is why they use a mouse model.

Looking at genetic polymorphisms for cell receptors for many viral infections, of which Norovirus is one of them.

Removed
The following content was removed as it was based on a primary source:

Serotypes, strains and isolates include:
 * Norwalk virus
 * Hawaii virus
 * Snow Mountain virus
 * Mexico virus
 * Desert Shield virus
 * Southampton virus
 * Lordsdale virus
 * Wilkinson virus

I don't know whether any of these viruses are considered strains of norovirus or not. JFW &#124; T@lk  11:41, 15 September 2020 (UTC)

Tracking
Since there was no definite test, but the doctor thought this virus, how do I track my outbreak back to a source. I have narrowed it down to I think fresh blueberries. 74.192.66.51 (talk) 12:47, 14 January 2022 (UTC)
