The outbreak of acute gastroenteritis caused by sapovirus at a school in Shenzhen, China, 2023
Sapovirus was the causative agent of this AGE outbreak, and airborne transmission was the primary route of infection. Prompt decontamination and the use of vomit bags significantly reduce the incidence of AGE while close contact with contaminated materials increases the risk of infection. These measures should be prioritized in public health strategies to prevent and control viral gastroenteritis outbreaks.
