title: Histo-blood group antigen assay for detecting noroviruses in water.
abstract: We evaluated a novel, magnetic-bead-based histo-blood group antigen assay for the recovery of low numbers of norovirus particles. Using this assay, with Norwalk virus seeded in environmental waters as a model, we were able to recover 30 to 300 genomic copies of the virus.
