TOMI Environmental (NASDAQ: TOMZ) | Norovirus Strain Shift Exposes Urgent Need for Next-Generation Disinfection

The Viral Threat Hiding in Plain Sight: Between August 2024 and July 2025, the CDC's NoroSTAT system recorded 2,675 norovirus outbreaks across the United States. A genetic shift has emerged: the GII.17 strain has overtaken the long-dominant GII.4 lineage, now responsible for roughly 75 percent of reported cases. Health officials warn this strain replacement increases outbreak frequency and severity, as current cleaning and immunity defenses are quickly becoming outdated. Why It Matters

Norovirus remains one of the most contagious and costly viral threats, spreading rapidly in schools, nursing homes, cruise ships, and hospitals. Just a few viral particles can infect hundreds, causing closures, staffing shortages, and economic losses that ripple through communities. Traditional disinfectants often fail to reach hidden areas or destroy new viral variants, allowing persistent contamination in high-contact environments.
