NVs were detected with high frequency, mostly in children between 6 months and 2 years old, reinforcing the hypothesis of a newly updated scenario of norovirus predominance over rotavirus. Watery diarrhea, complete vaccination against rotavirus and vomiting are 3 key parameters that should raise suspicion of possible norovirus gastroenteritis. Continuous and active norovirus surveillance in this age group is important because children represent a priority group for norovirus vaccine design and development.
