Food poisoning
Viral infections make up perhaps one third of cases of food poisoning in developed countries (In the US more than 50% of cases are viral). They are usually of intermediate (1-3 days) incubation period, cause illnesses which are self-limited in otherwise healthy individuals, and are similar to the bacterial forms described above.
1)Rotavirus
2)Norovirus (formerly Norwalk virus)
3)Rotavirus
4)Hepatitis A (distinguished from other viral causes by its prolonged (2-6 week) incubation period and its ability to spread beyond the stomach and intestines, into the liver)
5)Hepatitis E
