Summary:Highlights • Salivirus was detected in fecal samples of 5 out of 1941 hospitalized patients with acute gastroenteritis. • Salivirus concentrations ranged between 7.1 × 106 and 7.2 × 108 copies/g feces. • The viruses from 4 patients were classified as salivirus type 1, the virus from one patient as salivirus type 2. • Detection of salivirus type 2 suggests global spread of the virus. • In none of five cases salivirus was considered as the major cause of gastroenteritis symptoms.
