    [Epub ahead of print] Occurrence of Norovirus Infections in Asymptomatic Food Handlers in South Korea. Jeong AY, Jeong HS, Lee JS, Park YC, Lee SH, Hwang IG, Kim YJ, Kim YJ, Jo MY, Jung S, Kim K, Cheon DS. Division of Vaccine Research, Center for Infectious Disease, Korea National Institute of Health, Korea, Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Osong, Republic of Korea. Abstract Prevalence of asymptomatic norovirus infection was investigated in food handlers in Korea. Among 6,441 subjects, 66 (1.02%) had norovirus infections confirmed by RT-PCR (real-time and nested). GII-.12 and GII-4 were the prevalent genotypes. Our data suggest that infection of asymptomatic food handlers is an important transmission source in norovirus outbreaks. PMID:23175251 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
