Abstract
The prevalence of serum antibodies against Norwalk virus among military recruits in Norway was investigated using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). A total of 1017 sera were assayed for anti-Norwalk virus total antibodies (Ig), of which 300 (29.5%) were positive. Of 227 positive sera, 10.6 and 15.4% were positive for IgA and IgM, respectively, while 2.2% were positive for both. The prevalence of antibodies against Norwalk virus in south-east Norway was significantly higher than that in northern Norway.
