Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure include methods and/or compositions for the detection of viral infection, including at least Norovirus infection. In particular embodiments, there are methods and/or compositions employing particular peptides and/or phage useful for detecting Norovirus in a sample. The sample may be from an environment or from an individual. The individual may be a mammal, including a human, cow, horse, dog, cat, pig, and so forth. Certain exemplary peptides and phage that express the peptides are identified as useful for binding to Norovirus. Such peptides and phage are provided to one or more samples in order to identify whether or not Norovirus is present in the sample.
