Establishing the viral etiology took many decades due to the difficulty of growing the virus in cell culture. In the 1940s and 1950s in the United States and Japan, caliciviridae could not be grown in culture, but as an experiment bacterial free filtrate of diarrhea was given to volunteers to check if viruses were present in volunteers' stool.

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.

A similar contamination had occurred in 2008 at the Geel, Belgium facilities and previously at the Allston plant in 2008. [ 10 ]

Probiotics have not been found to be useful for active infections. [8] Around 75% of women have at least one vaginal yeast infection at some point in their lives, while nearly half have at least two. [1] [9] Around 5% have more than three infections in a single year. [9] It is the second most common cause of vaginal inflammation after bacterial ...
Disruption of the normal flora can cause a vaginal yeast infection. Vaginal yeast infection can affect women of all ages and is very common. The yeast Candida albicans is the most common cause of vaginitis. Specific forms of vaginal inflammation include the following types: Infectious vaginitis accounts for 90% of all cases in reproductive age ...
Gastroenteritis can be caused by viral, bacterial, or parasitic infections. Common routes of infection include: Food; Contaminated water; Contact with an infected person; Unwashed hands [2] Fifty to seventy percent of cases of gastroenteritis in adults are caused by noroviruses (genus Norovirus, family Caliciviridae). This virus is highly ...
