Astroviruses

Dear Colleagues,

In spite of being one of the leading causes of childhood diarrhoea, the last decade has highlighted how little we know about astroviruses. How many astrovirus genotypes are there and what species do they infect? Are they zoonotic? How many unique genotypes infect humans and can they all cause encephalitis? How do we diagnose them and more importantly how do we stop them are just some of the questions that we will explore in this special edition of Viruses.
