Epidemiological investigation of an acute gastroenteritis outbreak associated with norovirus GΙΙ.17[P17] in a cross-border travel group - Shanghai Port, China, 2024
This case demonstrates the feasibility and impact of rapid, genomically informed surveillance at the border for detecting and characterizing travel-associated enteric virus outbreaks. The findings underscore the need for robust port-of-entry monitoring, rapid diagnostics, and integrated genomic analysis to mitigate transmission in group travel settings.
