Brief description Viral infections of the gut are one of the most debilitating infections one can suffer from. Noroviruses are the most common causative agents of viral-associated gastroenteritis but unfortunately little is known regarding their biology and pathogenesis. Our study aims to investigate the replication and pathogenesis of a mouse norovirus to shed light on similar aspects relating to human norovirus infection. We aim to understand how virus infection in cells leads to disease symptoms.
