Abstract excerpt
A total of 177 different nucleotide sequences of the RNA polymerase region of Norwalk-like viruses (NLVs) genomes, collected via a nation-wide survey project in Japan between 1989 and 1998, were examined by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) employing various primer pairs. The nucleotide sequences of different strains showed great diversity, with a range of 57 to 100% identities among...
