a

A serum positive for IgM is one in which the IgM antibody titer is ≥1:25 in a single sample. 

b

The outbreak was confirmed to be due to MXV. 

c

Acute-phase sera were collected late. 

d

All sera from patients with rotavirus and astrovirus infections had IgG titers to rNV and rMXV in their acute- and convalescent-phase sera. 

e

NA, not applicable.
