Abstract

Astroviruses are one of the significant causes of acute viral gastroenteritis in young children. Despite the relatively mild course of the disease, their contribution to the overall structure of infectious diarrhea remains significant. In recent years, there has been a growing interest in astroviruses due to the development of molecular diagnostic methods and the identification of their role in mixed infections.
