Molecular Epidemiology of Classic, MLB, and VA Astroviruses in Children with Acute Gastroenteritis, 2014–2021: Emergence of MLB3 Strain in Japan

Molecular Epidemiology of Classic, MLB, and VA Astroviruses in Children with Acute Gastroenteritis, 2014–2021: Emergence of MLB3 Strain in Japan

ABSTRACT Human astroviruses (HAstVs) are important causative pathogens of acute gastroenteritis (AGE) in children worldwide. MLB and VA HAstVs, which are genetically distinct from the previously known classic HAstVs, have been detected since 2008. To investigate the role of HAstVs in AGE, we conduct...
