Abstract

Abstract Norovirus is a common and highly transmissible gastrointestinal pathogen. Among 34 Nicaraguan households with a norovirus-infected child, 48% experienced norovirus transmission within 1 week, infecting 18% of household members; GII norovirus was more commonly transmitted than GI. Pediatric norovirus vaccines could prevent both index cases and transmission to close contacts.
