These localized epidemics typically occur when groups of people spend time proximate to each other, such as on cruise ships, [18] in hospitals, or in restaurants. [1] People may remain infectious even after their diarrhea has ended. [18] Norovirus is the cause of about 10% of cases in children. [1]
Endomicroscopy is a technique for obtaining histology-like images from inside the human body in real-time, [1] [2] [3] a process known as ‘optical biopsy’. [ 4 ] [ 5 ] It generally refers to fluorescence confocal microscopy , although multi-photon microscopy and optical coherence tomography have also been adapted for endoscopic use.
Viruses are often isolated from the initial patient sample. This allows the virus sample to be grown into larger quantities and allows a larger number of tests to be run on them. This is particularly important for samples that contain new or rare viruses for which diagnostic tests are not yet developed. [citation needed]

Pithovirus—the largest known virus; Parvovirus—smallest known viruses; Pelagibacter ubique—possesses one of the smallest bacterial genomes; Virophage—a virus that requires the host cell to be co-infected with a giant virus; The Giant Virus Finder is a software tool that identifies giant viruses in environmental Metagenomes.
Cases of norovirus on cruises are at their highest in 11 years, according to CDC data. Many Americans are facing the stomach bug on cruise ships this summer.
Sapovirus is a genetically diverse genus of single-stranded positive-sense RNA, non-enveloped viruses within the family Caliciviridae. [1] [2] Together with norovirus, sapoviruses are the most common cause of acute gastroenteritis (commonly called the "stomach flu" although it is not related to influenza) in humans and animals.
