CaliciNet is a national norovirus outbreak surveillance network. Its database is used by public health laboratories to submit genetic sequences of norovirus strains associated with gastroenteritis outbreaks, and epidemiological data from outbreaks. The norovirus strains can be compared with other strains in the database, helping CDC link outbreaks to a common source, monitor circulating norovirus strains, and identify newly emerging norovirus strains.
