Abstract excerpt
Norovirus genotype II.3 (GII.3) strains are a major cause of sporadic gastroenteritis. Intergenic recombination between the capsid and RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) genes is common and results in the acquisition of an alternative RdRp genotype. This study aimed to explore the evolution of the GII.3 capsid gene, focusing on the influence of intergenic recombination. The capsid genes from six GII.3 norovirus...
