Abstract

Noroviruses are the major cause of non-bacterial acute gastroenteritis outbreaks in humans, with few reports about the occurrence of the norovirus GIV strain. We investigated the presence of norovirus GIV in surface water (river, bay, and stream) and untreated sewage, and we determined a positivity rate of 9.4% (9/96). The strains genotyped were GIV.1. To our knowledge, this is the first report of GIV in Brazil.
