Abstract excerpt
'Norwalk-like viruses(NLV)', a member of the family Caliciviridae, are the major causative agent of acute gastroenteritis and genetically divided into two groups, geno-group I(GI) and genogroup II(GII). We have determined complete nucleotide sequences, of 9 new NLV strains. Using this information together with 5 known NLV sequences, we investigated the criteria to further classify genotypes of NLV. Validation of...
