Abstract
Norovirus infection is an epidemic stomach disorder caused by norovirus. Humans can be infected by norovirus regardless of age, gender and location. Infection is now occurring sporadically throughout the world. Norovirus maintains its infectiousness even after being heated in 60 degrees Celsius for 30 minutes. Symptoms of norovirus infection include diarrhea, stomach, vomiting, and nausea. Although astrovirus is less known than norovirus, it also causes the very similar symptoms as norovirus. Norovirus causes dehydration, pyrexy, drowsiness, diarrhea, and etc. Furthermore, both viruses do not have specific antiviral agents. For the research, our goal is to compare and contrast norovirus and astrovirus for deeper understanding; we seek for any possibilities of connections in the treatment of the two viruses by using Apriori algorithm. Finding any relationship between the treatments of two viruses will devote to the overall enhancement of the health of humankind.
