We provide a rapid and sensitive method for detecting NoV in milk and cottage cheese.
The recovery efficiencies were of 54.87%–98.87% for NoV GI and 61.16%–96.50% for NoV GII.
We use the Murine Norovirus (MNV-1) and Mengovirus as a process control.
MNV-1 and mengovirus offers a reliable way to monitor the quality of the extraction procedures.
The limit of detection was in the range of 103 and 105 genome copies per sample respectively for NoVGII and NoVGI.
