==Pathology==
 
==Pathophysiology==
Viral gastroenteritis is a [[contagious]] illness. The viruses that cause gastroenteritis are spread through close contact with infected persons (for example, by sharing food, water, or eating utensils). Individuals may also become infected by eating or drinking contaminated food or beverages.
 
===Contamination===
Food may be contaminated by food preparers or handlers who have viral gastroenteritis, especially if they do not wash their hands regularly after using the bathroom. Shellfish may be contaminated by sewage, and persons who eat raw or undercooked shellfish harvested from contaminated waters may get [[diarrhea]]. Drinking water can also be contaminated by sewage and be a way for these viruses to spread.
