astrovirus
Intestinal illness agent
Astrovirus is a type of virus that causes gastroenteritis, particularly in young children and the elderly.
The name comes from the star-shaped appearance of the virus under electron microscopy.
Infection typically produces watery diarrhea, nausea, and fever lasting a few days: The outbreak was traced to astrovirus contamination.
