Unfiltered stool suspensions were used. Virus binding was made using in-house saliva-coated wells, followed by norovirus detection with a commercial diagnostic kit. Testing was performed using saliva of two individuals for each secretor blood group A, B and O and weak secretor. Dashed horizontal line indicates lower detection limit of the assay. HBGA, histo-blood group antigen; Neg, negative controls; NS, not significant; OD, optical density; Se, secretor; Sew, weak secretor. *P<0.05 (Mann–Whitney U-test).
