The Norovirus Test market is a subset of the larger Infectious Disease Testing market. Norovirus is a highly contagious virus that causes gastroenteritis, or inflammation of the stomach and intestines. It is the leading cause of foodborne illness in the United States. Norovirus tests are used to detect the presence of the virus in a patient's stool sample. These tests are used to diagnose norovirus infection and to monitor the effectiveness of treatment. Norovirus tests are available in a variety of formats, including rapid tests, enzyme immunoassays, and molecular tests. Rapid tests are the most commonly used, as they provide results in a matter of minutes. Enzyme immunoassays are more accurate, but require more time to process. Molecular tests are the most accurate, but are also the most expensive. Some companies in the Norovirus Test market include Alere, Becton Dickinson, Cepheid, DiaSorin, and Roche. Show Less Read more
