A new strain of norovirus called Sydney 2012 is responsible for the majority of recent cases in England and Wales, the Health Protection Agency has found.
Experts say the new variant is no more serious than other strains.
The Sydney 2012 strain was first seen in Australia, where the norovirus season is lasting longer than usual as outbreaks continue into their summer.
Scientists are watching global trends closely but cannot be sure what will happen next in the UK.
