詳細內容

This official statistics publication presents comprehensive surveillance data for norovirus and rotavirus during the 2025 to 2026 season in England. The reports cover:

Laboratory surveillance:

• Confirmed norovirus cases by strain and genotype
• Rotavirus detections and strain distribution
• Temporal trends and seasonal patterns
• Age distribution of cases

Outbreak surveillance:

• Enteric virus outbreaks in hospital settings
• Outbreak size and attack rates
• Settings affected (wards, departments)
• Control measures implemented

Norovirus is the most common cause of gastroenteritis outbreaks in healthcare settings, causing:

• Vomiting and diarrhea
• Rapid person-to-person spread
• Significant disruption to healthcare services
• Ward closures and infection control challenges

Rotavirus primarily affects children, though routine vaccination has substantially reduced disease burden in the UK.

This surveillance is essential for:

• Early outbreak detection in healthcare facilities
• Monitoring vaccine effectiveness (rotavirus)
• Guiding infection prevention and control strategies
• Understanding seasonal disease patterns
