Direct Detection of Norovirus in Feces Using RT-PCR with the Norovirus Data
G1/G2 Detection Reagent Kit
Noroviruses are a cause of food poisoning that can be directly transmitted from the feces or vomit of an infected person, as Detection of Norovirus in Feces Using the Norovirus G1/G2 Detection Reagent Kit
