Sometimes the infected cell loses control over normal cell division and becomes cancerous. Some viruses that do not kill the cells they infect leave their genetic material in the host cell where it remains dormant for an extended time (latent infection). When the cell is disturbed, the virus may be able to begin growing again and cause disease. Viruses usually infect one particular type of cell. For example, cold viruses infect only cells of the upper respiratory tract. Additionally, most viruses infect only a few species of plants or animals; some infect only people.

Extractions: SUMMARY Foodborne viral infections are caused mainly by two types of virus, Norwalk-like viruses (NLVs, formerly named small round structured viruses (SRSVs) in the UK) which cause gastroenteritis and Hepatitis A virus which causes hepatitis. All foodborne viruses originate from the human intestine and contamination of food occurs either during preparation by infected food handlers or by contact with sewage sludge or polluted water. Control measures mainly depend on staff education and good factory and kitchen hygiene; food handlers suffering from symptoms should be excluded from work immediately and all staff made aware of the ease with which viral contamination is transmitted. The use of clean water for irrigation of crops that are likely to be eaten raw and cultivation of molluscan shellfish in sewage-free seawater are also essential to prevent viral contamination of food. Foodborne viruses are a common but probably under-recognised cause of gastroenteritis, and may often be the cause of outbreaks of illness. Human infection can occur either by the consumption of contaminated food, or from person to person through body contact or release of aerosols. Food may be contaminated by infected food handlers or by contact with sewage sludge or polluted water, and most confirmed outbreaks of viral foodborne illness have been associated with the consumption of shellfish that had been harvested from sewage-polluted waters. The greatest risk of foodborne illness occurs from catering operations preparing ready to eat foods, although foodborne spread is difficult to prove.
