    Summary

    Small round structured viruses (SRSV) cause widespread epidemic gastroenteritis, particularly in institutional settings. These viruses are primarily transmitted through person-to-person contact, leading to numerous outbreaks.

    Area of Science:

    • Virology
    • Epidemiology
    • Public Health

    Background:

    • Small round structured viruses (SRSV) are a significant cause of epidemic gastroenteritis.
    • These viruses are responsible for a substantial proportion of outbreaks in institutional settings.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To summarize the impact of SRSV on gastroenteritis outbreaks.
    • To highlight the transmission routes of SRSV.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of outbreak data in England and Wales.
    • Analysis of transmission patterns.

    Main Results:

    • SRSV account for 54% of person-to-person gastroenteritis outbreaks.
    • SRSV are implicated in 6% of foodborne gastroenteritis outbreaks.
    • Person-to-person transmission is the predominant route of infection.

    Conclusions:

    • SRSV are a major public health concern due to their high rate of person-to-person transmission.
    • Understanding transmission dynamics is crucial for controlling SRSV outbreaks in institutional environments.
