Several Sciensano departments are involved in:
- the identification of possible sources of contamination
- the diagnosis of norovirus infections
- the detection and investigation of epidemics.
This is done by the Epidemiology of Infectious Diseases department via the network of sentinel laboratories, as well as by the Scientific Directorate for Human Infectious Diseases via the National Reference Center for Noroviruses.
The various activities undertaken by Sciensano thus play a role in the surveillance and control of noroviruses in Belgium, in the interest of public health.
