This is caused by a variety of viruses including Norovirus (see previous), Sapovirus (formerly known as human classic calicivirus), Rotavirus, Adenovirus and Astrovirus. These viruses are a major cause of acute gastroenteritis in children and are frequently identified in outbreaks occurring in hospitals and elderly care institutions. Commonly reported symptoms include abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea. Diagnosis is by electron microscopy, serological tests (such as ELISA), PCR.

An increasing interest in enteric viruses causing acute gastroenteritis (AGE) arises as they are the leading cause of morbidity worldwide, especially among children under 5 years (Rivadulla and Romalde 2020). Several enteropathogens have been studied since the discovery of the first causative agent of AGE. Infections with Sapovirus (SaVs) are associated with acute gastroenteritis whether in sporadic cases or outbreaks. Among patients with sporadic gastroenteritis, SaVs are shown to rank second to fourth as the major viral pathogens (Oka et al. 2015).
