During 2017-2018 in Thailand, norovirus caused 10.9% of acute gastroenteritis cases, with recombinant GII.Pe-GII.4 Sydney being the predominant strain, differing from global trends.
Informs Thai norovirus surveillance; leaves open strain-specific vaccine implications pending longitudinal data.
During June 2017-December 2018, norovirus was responsible for 10.9% of acute gastroenteritis cases in Thailand. Genogroup I (GI) was found in 14% of samples, of which 12 were co-infected with genogroup II (GII). In 35.8% of samples, GII.Pe-GII.4 Sydney predominated. Diverse recombinant strains of GI and GII norovirus co-circulated year-round.

Chuchaona et al. (2019) conducted an observational in Acute gastroenteritis (n=2,704). Norovirus infection was evaluated on Prevalence of norovirus in acute gastroenteritis cases. During 2017-2018 in Thailand, norovirus was detected in 10.9% of acute gastroenteritis cases, with the recombinant GII.Pe-GII.4 Sydney strain being the most prevalent.
