Foodborne enteric viruses which may cause diarrhea, gastroenteritis
and in some cases severe acute disease and even death (especially
amongst children, elderly and immune compromised individuals) are
considered one of the main health risks worldwide. Noroviruses are the
major group identified in food-borne outbreaks of gastroenteritis, but
other humanderived and possibly animal-derived viruses can also be
transmitted via food. Given the recent recognition of the significance of
viruses in food-borne disease and the development of methods for virus
detection, it appears that food virology as a field is poised to rapidly
grow in the coming years. In this article information will be given about
some of the most important foodborne viruses (Hepatitis A virus (HAV),
Norovirus, Rotavirus, Adenovirus, Enterovirus and Astrovirus) and their
characteristics. Furthermore, the viruses' main transmission routes will
also be discussed.
