Abstract excerpt
It is well known that Norovirus (NoV) and Sapovirus (SaV) identified in humans and pigs have heterogeneous genome sequences. In this study, a total of three strains of NoV and 37 strains of SaV were detected in 567 porcine fecal samples by RT-PCR, corresponding detection rates of 0.5 and 6.5%, respectively. Phylogenetic analyses were conducted using amino acid sequences of the partial RNA-dependent RNA polymerase...
