Scientists Discover The Secret Weapon Of Stomach Viruses
New research finds that stomach infections, like norovirus and rotavirus, have a special way to get to us hard — and fast. That knowledge could lead to new, more effective treatments.
Researchers have discovered why some stomach bugs hit us so hard — and spread so fast.
New research published Wednesday in Cell Host & Microbe found that stomach infections, like norovirus and rotavirus, are more contagious and more potent when the virus particles cluster together.
These findings may help treat — and even prevent — these viruses more effectively.
The research began in 2015, when the researchers were studying polio viruses for a different project. It was led by , who focuses on host-pathogen connections at the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute. The researchers were
