cholera (Vibrio cholera), septicemia or gastroenteritis from eating infected raw oysters (Vibrio vulnificus) and gastric illnesses that threaten people with weakened immune systems (Aeromonas hydrophila.

Viruses responsible for 50 percent of gastroenteritis Noroviruses, a group of viruses responsible for over 50%of global gastroenteritis cases, can spread by air up to several meters from an infected person

suggests that measures applied in hospitals during gastroenteritis outbreaks may be insufficient to effectively contain this kind of infection.

and long-term care facilities affected by gastroenteritis outbreaks. Researchers gathered air samples at a distance of 1 meter from patients, at the doors to their rooms,

The viruses were detected in 54%of the rooms housing patients with gastroenteritis, 38%of the hallways leading to their rooms,

A dose of 20 norovirus particles is usually enough to cause gastroenteritis. According to Professor Duchaine

this previously unknown mode of norovirus propagation could explain why gastroenteritis outbreaks are so hard to contain:"

Use of mobile air filtration units or the wearing of respiratory protection around patients with gastroenteritis are measures worth testing. i

fever, influenza-like illness, pink eye, stomach illnesses (gastroenteritis), cold or respiratory symptoms, ear infections and rash.

The most common illnesses reported were gastroenteritis (37 percent), fever (31 percent), cold (17 percent) and influenza (3 percent.

Data also revealed an unusually large increase in gastroenteritis cases during a two-day period,

#Copper and its alloys destroy'stomach flu'virus Metal surfaces containing copper can destroy human norovirus, one of the causes of gastroenteritis or'stomach flu,
