Abstract:

Norovirus（NoV） is the primary pathogenic agent responsible for non-bacterial acute gastroenteritis（AGE） and is also a common cause of food poisoning. NoV is characterized by rapid mutation，high infectivity，and a generally susceptible population，which collectively impose a considerable economic burden on society and individual patients. Environmental monitoring of NoV is an essential component of its overall surveillance，focusing on environmental samples such as air，surfaces，water，etc.，aiming to understand the distribution of norovirus in various environments and assists in tracing the virus's transmission routes. This article presents a comprehensive review of the introduction of NoV，air monitoring，surface environmental monitoring，the persistence of the virus at various temperatures，and the monitoring of environmental sewage. The findings provide a theoretical basis for the early detection and prevention of NoV infection and for the government to formulate relevant policies
