Popis: Background Norovirus is a leading cause of acute gastroenteritis worldwide, yet there is limited information on homotypic or heterotypic protection following natural infection to guide vaccine development. Methods A total of 6020 stools collected from 299 Peruvian children between 2010 and 2014 were tested by norovirus real-time reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction followed by sequence-based genotyping. Cox proportional hazards models were used to derive adjusted hazard ratios (HRs) of infection among children with vs without prior exposure. Results Norovirus was detected in 1288 (21.3%) samples. GII.4 (26%), GII.6 (19%), and GI.3 (9%) viruses accounted for 54% of infections. Homotypic protection for GI.3 (HR, 0.35; P = .015), GI.7 (HR, 0.19; P = .022), GII.4 (HR, 0.39; P
Infections with GII.4 noroviruses demonstrated both homotypic and heterotypic protection. However, increased hazard of subsequent infection following infection with several other common genotypes will require additional studies prior to the inclusion of additional genotypes in a multivalent vaccine.
