Norovirus affects people of all ages. The viruses are transmitted by faecally contaminated food or water, by person-to-person contact, and via aerosolization of the virus and subsequent contamination of surfaces.

Norovirus is highly infectious, and spreads rapidly in contained environments such as cruise ships and nursing homes. The virus may also be referred to as Norwalk or Norwalk-like virus (NLV).
