*Bold indicates vomit samples that showed successful norovirus replication. GEq, genomic equivalent. †Norovirus genotype determined by partial sequencing of the VP1 gene encoding the major capsid protein. ‡Norovirus titer (GEq/mL) in undiluted vomit used to infect human intestinal enteroids. 100µL of 1:100 diluted sample was used as inoculum. §All GII.4 norovirus detected belonged to the GII.4 Sydney 2012 variant.
