: The study was approved by the Research Ethics Committee at the Third Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University and the Institutional Review Board (IRB) at the Chinese CDC for the protection of human subjects. The project approval number is 2013(2)-76. After explaining the study objectives in their own local language, which could also help these diarrhea patients to detect norovirus infection free of charge, verbal consent was obtained from all participants or their guardian prior to sample collection. Notably, the samples we used were medical waste which not cause any harm to patients and their information would be kept strictly confidential, and identifiable information would not be disclosed to any members unless patients permission was obtained. Therefore, the procedures for verbal consent were approved by all ethical committees. The verbal consent we documented included the research name, institute, researchers, research background and purpose, benefits and risks of participating in the research, benefits and compensation of subjects, personal information protection and consent statement.
