New progress in anti-norovirus drugs and vaccines / 药学学报

ABSTRACT

Norovirus (NoV) is the main pathogen causing the global acute gastroenteritis in humans and NoV infection has become an important public health problem that threatens human health. Because of the lack of appropriate animal models and in vitro cell culture models, the development of NoV biology and antiviral research has been restricted, and there is currently no effective antiviral drug or vaccine against NoV. In the past few years, considerable progress has been made toward the development of norovirus antivirals. This review selects the most representative research examples and provides an overview of recent advances in anti-norovirus drugs and vaccines.
