Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of immunological detection technology, and particularly relates to a kit, detection method and application for detecting GI type norovirus. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of economy and trade, increasingly frequent international trade has broken down the ecological and geographical limitations of disease outbreaks and has become an important route for the spread of infectious diseases and their vectors, exacerbating the risk of cross-border transmission of infectious diseases. At present, border ports are facing enormous challenges and tests in dealing with imported infectious disease outbreaks, and rapid and sensitive immunological detection methods are urgently needed for the monitoring of infectious diseases at ports.

[0003] Norovirus, belonging to the genus Norovirus (NV) within the family Caliciviridae, is a group of morphologically similar viral particles with slightly different antigenicities. Norovirus-related infectious diarrhea is prevalent worldwide, occurring year-round, primarily affecting adults and school-aged children, with higher incidence during colder seasons. In the United States, norovirus causes 60%–90% of all non-bacterial diarrhea outbreaks annually. Similar results have been observed in other developed countries such as the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, Japan, and Australia. Norovirus is highly contagious and rapidly spreads due to its rapid mutation, strong environmental resistance, low infectious dose, short incubation period, long viral shedding period, short duration of immune protection, diverse transmission routes, and universal susceptibility. In my country, it has consistently been classified as a Class C infectious disease for reporting and management.

[0004] Currently, most methods for detecting norovirus use genetic testing, with fewer methods using immunoassay, especially at ports of entry where rapid and sensitive testing methods are lacking. Summary of the Invention

It is calculated by dividing the proportion of true positives by the proportion of (true positives + false negatives) (Crowther JR. The ELISA Guidebook [M]. Humana Press, 2009, p. 315.).
