Tracking the transmission routes of genogroup II noroviruses in suspected food-borne or environmental outbreaks of gastroenteritis through sequence analysis of the P2 domain.

Abstract excerpt

The aim of this study was to apply sequence analysis of a hyper variable region of the norovirus (NoV) genome in order to identify point source outbreaks associated with suspect food or water. The hyper-variable region of the gene encoding the P2 domain was chosen as small differences in sequence are likely to indicate virus from different sources whereas identical sequence may reveal transmission routes and the...
