Abstract

Noroviruses belong to the Caliciviridae family and have been identified as a leading cause of acute gastroenteritis outbreaks in humans of all ages all over the world. Both clinically unwell and asymptomatic animals are likely to test positive for norovirus. However, there is no clear and comprehensive report on animal noroviruses that has been conducted to date. Furthermore, there is limited information on norovirus prevalence in local animal hosts. The objective ofthis paper is to review and analyse the documented incidence, distribution and status ofnorovirus status in healthy and clinically ill pigs, dogs and cats. The findings ofthis study will be useful in future direction ofnorovirus research. This paper reviewed literature from 1998 to 2021 comprises animal reservoirs, global norovirus situation, diagnostic procedures, and likely norovirus transmission routes among people and animals. Animal norovirus of pigs, dogs and cats are detected worldwide which include Asia, Europe, America and in New Zealand. Reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) is the most common method ofdetection for norovirus in animals. The paper also discusses the evidence ofhuman norovirus antibodies/antigens in animal populations. However, based on current studies, there may still be insufficient evidence to validate the potential transmission ofnorovirus from animal to human and vice versa.
