Sapoviruses are non enveloped and single strand RNA viruses. These human enteric viruses are responsible for viral gastroenteritis outbreaks. They are pathogenic for all age groups of the population. These viruses are very infectious; one to ten viral particles are sufficient to get sick.

Their mode of transmission is the faeco-oral route. After excretion in human stool, due to their structural properties, Sapoviruses can resist to different physical and chemical treatment. Adsorbed on particles, they can survive in different types of environment for a long period. Food samples can be contaminated via food handlers or by the environment. Due to their structural properties, Sapoviruses can survive to different food processes. The consumption of contaminated food can lead to human outbreak.

The detection by ELISA is not recommended due toSapoviruses  genetic diversity  and its lack of sensitivity. Molecular techniques (real time RT-PCR) are the methods of choice for SaV detection  after extraction and viral RNA purification from the sample.
