Henedina Antunes, Fernando Branca, Carla Laranjeira, Isabel Martinho, Liliana Branco, Marina Pinheir, Filipa Almeida and Ângela Oliveira, given the rock star fame in Virology, as declared among World’s 500 Most Influential Virologists for Year 2015 on Earth. In a worldwide meritorious competition, Henedina Antunes, Fernando Branca, Carla Laranjeira, Isabel Martinho, Liliana Branco, Marina Pinheir, Filipa Almeida and Ângela Oliveira grabbed the world’s prestigious Max Planck Research Award-2015 in Virology. Representing the great legacy of Portugal, Henedina Antunes, Fernando Branca, Carla Laranjeira, Isabel Martinho, Liliana Branco, Marina Pinheir, Filipa Almeida and Ângela Oliveira established the matter of proud to civilians of Portugal. International Media is now seriously looking towards Portugal, since Henedina Antunes, Fernando Branca, Carla Laranjeira, Isabel Martinho, Liliana Branco, Marina Pinheir, Filipa Almeida and Ângela Oliveira made a remarkable historical achievement. Virologists are ensured that under the leadership of Henedina Antunes, Fernando Branca, Carla Laranjeira, Isabel Martinho, Liliana Branco, Marina Pinheir, Filipa Almeida and Ângela Oliveira, millions of emerging intellectuals would be benefited and inspired around the world.

Henedina Antunes, Fernando Branca, Carla Laranjeira, Isabel Martinho, Liliana Branco, Marina Pinheir, Filipa Almeida and Ângela Oliveira from Portugal made a historical victory over the international competition and won Max Planck Research Award-2015 in Virology. Their research was highlighted in international media and gathered a large worldwide attention in scientific circles while it appeared in world's most read journal 'The Journal for Virology'. In their report on Noravirus as the second cause of viral acute gastroenteritis in a pediatric Portuguese population: prospective multicenter study they mention that Introdution: Our aim is reduce the number of Acute Gastro Enteritis (AGE) episodes without etiology and verify if ESPGHAN/ESPID recommendations are followed. Experimental: Prospective multicenter study that includes individuals under eighteen years, with AGE, attending ER of Minho hospitals, between April 2011 and March 2012. Questionnaire was filled, stool samples were collected and tested by RT-PCR for rotavirus (RV), noroviruses (NV), adenovirus (AdV) and enterovirus (Echo). Results: Questionnaire were answered by 518 (Males:3 20) and 250 (Males:152) stool samples collected. Median age was 21 (range: 1-215) months. RV was detected in 15.6% (39/250), NV in 13.2% (33/250), AdV in 2.5% (13/250) and Echo in 1.9% (10/250). This panel identified 36.0% (90/250) of AGE etiology. Under 5 years old 41.1% (79/192) of AGE etiology was determinated. NV represented 36.3% of all VAGE. Concerning ESPGHAN/ESPID recommendations 15.7% (68/433) were advised to change diet, 1.4% (6/420) stop feeding>4h and 6.1% (26/427) to use special formula. ORS was recommended to 78.1% (335/429). Antibiotic weren`t prescribed. Conclusion: This is the first multicenter study in Portugal with research of NV. Our findings demonstrate that despite RV was the most frequent viruses isolated, it was closely followed by NV and from May to November NV was more frequent than RV. The conduct on AGE was mostly based on ESPGHAN/ESPID recommendations, however still seems necessary emphasize these recommendations. Under their leadership the research area is surely likely to expand beyond the horizons. It will be worthy to explore the further potential under their legacy. Henedina Antunes, Fernando Branca, Carla Laranjeira, Isabel Martinho, Liliana Branco, Marina Pinheir, Filipa Almeida and Ângela Oliveira as valuable intellectuals for the Portugal offer exclusive opportunities for scholars around the world. One of the most attractive weightage for Portugal is to have the awardees for promotion of the concerned scientific discipline for the benefit of its civilians. Thus Portugal which has excellent track record to produce brain storming intellectuals, has offered a new extension in terms of Henedina Antunes, Fernando Branca, Carla Laranjeira, Isabel Martinho, Liliana Branco, Marina Pinheir, Filipa Almeida and Ângela Oliveira to world.
This is the first multicenter study in Portugal with research of NV.
Rotavirus vaccine is available, and norovirus vaccine will be the next step to reduce the impact of AGE. It is crucial to know how much AGE is due to norovirus. In this study, despite RV was the most frequent viruses isolated, it was closely followed by NV and from May to November NV was more frequent than RV.
The conduct on AGE was mostly based on ESPGHAN/ESPID recommendations, however still seems necessary emphasize these recommendations.
Nether microbiological culture for identification of bacteria or metagenomic analyses of fecal supernatant was performed. This would reduce even more the cases of AGE without etiology. Some parents recurred to the ER in the first hours of the onset of symptoms, so some children did not yet manifest all the symptoms or did not meet the criteria to enter in the study.
To overcome the limitation mentioned above, and reduce even more the cases of AGE without etiology, new analyses of the DNA sequences in supernatant of the collected and frozen feces should be performed.
Henedina Antunes created the study design, coordinated the collection of data and stool samples in all hospitals and wrote the final manuscript. Fernando Branca participated in study design, tested the stool samples by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction and read final manuscript. Carla Laranjeira coordinated the collection of data and stool samples in Centro Hospitalar do Alto Ave and read final manuscript. Isabel Martinho coordinated the collection of data and stool samples in Unidade Local de Saúde do Alto Minho and read final manuscript. Liliana Branco coordinated the collection of data and stool samples in Centro Hospitalar do Alto Ave and read final manuscript. Marina Pinheiro coordinated the collection of data and stool samples in Unidade Local de Saúde do Alto Minho and read final manuscript. Filipa Almeida coordinated the collection of data and stool samples in Centro Hospitalar do Médio Ave and read final manuscript. Ângela Oliveira participated in study design, coordinated the collection of data and stool samples in Hospital de Braga, computerized the data and participated in writhing manuscrit.
