Sapovirus outbreaks in long-term care facilities, Oregon and Minnesota, USA, 2002-2009.

ABSTRACT: We tested fecal samples from 93 norovirus-negative gastroenteritis outbreaks; 21 outbreaks were caused by sapovirus. Of these, 71% were caused by sapovirus genogroup IV and 66% occurred in long-term care facilities. Future investigation of gastroenteritis outbreaks should include multi-organism testing.
