Abstract excerpt
Noroviruses are recognized as the most common cause of nonbacterial gastroenteritis worldwide. In this study, we investigated the molecular epidemiology of noroviral isolates in Canada from 2004 to 2005 by sequencing the RNA polymerase gene and capsid N-terminal/shell (N/S) domain. Norovirus genogroups I and II were thus found to have co-circulated in Canada during the studied period, with a higher incidence of...
