About Us
Grup Virus Entèrics.
Grup de recerca per disminuïr l’impacte dels virus entèrics en la salut humana.
The ENTERIC VIRUS GROUP at the University of Barcelona (UB) has a distinguished and long-standing track record in the study of human viruses that infect the digestive tract, such as hepatitis A and hepatitis E viruses, gastroenteritis viruses (astrovirus, norovirus, sapovirus, rotavirus, adenovirus, etc.), and enteric viruses associated with neurological infections (enterovirus, astrovirus). Studies on these agents cover molecular and clinical aspects, as well as their role as food and environmental contaminants to contribute to the development of preventive and control measures that reduce the impact of these agents on public health.
The group also targets other emerging viruses such as SARS-CoV-2, influenza virus, respiratory syncytial virus, monkeypox virus, arboviruses… which may be detected in wastewater, to public health strategies, improve disease surveillance.
