Gastroenteritis, commonly known as \"stomach flu,\" is an inflammation of the lining of the stomach and intestines. It is primarily caused by *viruses* (e.g., Norovirus, Rotavirus), but can also result from *bacteria* or *parasites*. This widespread illness affects people of all ages globally, particularly young children and those in areas with inadequate sanitation.

Gastroenteritis has been a prevalent disease throughout human history, once causing significant mortality, especially among infants. While symptoms were recognized for centuries, the specific viral and bacterial causes were identified largely in the 20th century, with Rotavirus in the 1970s and Norovirus in the 1960s. The widespread adoption of Oral Rehydration Therapy and the development of the Rotavirus vaccine have drastically reduced its global burden and infant mortality rates.
Gastroenteritis primarily spreads through the *fecal-oral route*. This occurs when microscopic particles of feces from an infected person are ingested by another, commonly via contaminated food or water. It can also spread through direct contact with an infected individual or by touching contaminated surfaces and then touching one's mouth.
