Abstract excerpt
Norovirus (NoV) has been reported as being a common cause of acute gastroenteritis both in children and adults worldwide. Of the many variants, NoV GII.4 is the most predominant genotype. One of the mechanisms that drives the evolution and emergence of new variants of NoV is homologous recombination. This study describes the genetic recombination involved in cases of NoV GII detected in pediatric patients with...
