Noroviruses, often referred to as winter-vomiting disease or stomach flu, are notorious for their rapid spread among human populations, particularly during the winter season. They are highly contagious and account for the majority of gastrointestinal infections. On the other hand, Rotaviruses are responsible for severe diarrheal illness, primarily affecting infants and young children. Transmission of these pathogens commonly occurs within healthcare institutions, including patient-to-patient contact, contaminated hands of healthcare workers, or through environmental contamination.
