What is a Neural Virus?

Published in Viral Infections 2 mins read

Based on the provided reference, the term "neural virus" is not addressed. However, the reference discusses norovirus, a very contagious virus that causes vomiting and diarrhea. It's often mistakenly called the "stomach flu" but is not related to the influenza virus. Norovirus causes acute gastroenteritis, which is inflammation of the stomach and/or intestines.

Since the provided reference focuses on norovirus and not "neural viruses", I am unable to define the term "neural virus" based on the given source.

It's possible that the question intended to refer to viruses that affect the nervous system, which would require a different answer and more specific research beyond what is provided. However, based solely on the given reference, I cannot address a "neural virus." The provided reference specifically discusses the following points:

  • Norovirus Contagion: Norovirus is highly contagious and spreads easily.
  • Symptoms: It causes vomiting and diarrhea.
  • Misconception: It is often called the "stomach flu" but is unrelated to the actual flu virus.
  • Gastroenteritis: Norovirus causes inflammation of the stomach or intestines, known as acute gastroenteritis.

Here's a table summarizing the information about norovirus based on the provided reference:

Aspect Details
Virus Type Norovirus
Symptoms Vomiting and diarrhea
Common Name "Stomach flu" or "stomach bug" (incorrect)
Relation to the flu Not related to the influenza virus
Cause Acute gastroenteritis (inflammation of the stomach or intestines)
