There are many viruses that are linked to the stomach, however there are four well-known viruses. These are Rotavirus, Caliciviruses, Adenovirus, and Astrovirus. The Rotavirus is the leading cause of the stomach flu in children under five, though adults can have the Rotavirus as well. Caliciviruses causes infection in children and adults. Adenovirus affects normally children two years old and younger. Astrovirus usually affects babies, young children, and the elderly. Each of these viruses have a main symptom of vomiting, as well as diarrhea.
