Diarrheal disease is a major public health problem globally. It is estimated that 525,000 deaths occur annually in children younger than 5 years old due to diarrhea, even though diarrheal disease is preventable and treatable.
Human Astrovirus were initially identified and classified into eight serotypes and these are estimated to causeabout 10% of sporadic diarrhea cases. HAstV type 1 is the most prevalent, whereas HAstV 7 and HAstV 8 are. Astrovirus first identified in 1975 in children suffering from diarrhea, since then, they have been found worldwide in humans, especially in infants and children, suffering from gastroenteritis, and are among the most common pathogens to cause juvenile diarrhea .
The Astrovirus Nucleic Acid Detection Kit developed by TianLong Biotechnology is intended for the quick, accurate detection of Astrovirus, assisting in the diagnosis and treatment of Astrovirus patients and public healthcare management.
