Thanks, fixed.
Idea of announcing the papers beforehand is great,
thanks, best wishes TWIV, TWIM and TWIP
Alan was asking about a reference concerning the Norovirus as biggest cause of foodborne illness factoid…here it is… A landmark paper by CDC authors. Very important paper/study http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21192848
