Prevalence and genotype distribution of human norovirus infections in Ghana: A systematic review and meta-analysis

This review and meta-analysis confirms that human norovirus is a significant public health burden in Ghana, particularly among children under five. However, the true burden is likely underestimated due to limited and geographically constrained surveillance. These findings emphasise the need for strengthened, systematic national surveillance and further research to fully define the epidemiology of norovirus in Ghana, which is essential for guiding effective evidence-based control interventions. It is also important to implement robust hygiene promotion measures to curb the transmission of norovirus in Ghana.
