title: Seroprevalence of canine norovirus in 14 European countries.
abstract: To investigate the prevalence of the recently described genogroup VI canine noroviruses (CNVs) in dogs in Europe, we tested 510 serum samples from dogs in 14 European countries for anti-IgG CNV antibodies. Seropositive dogs were found throughout Europe. Dogs with antibodies against human noroviruses were also found.
