Abstract excerpt
Background: During 2016-2017, the previously rare GII.P16-GII.2 norovirus suddenly emerged as the predominant genotype causing gastroenteritis outbreaks in China and other countries. Its origin, phylodynamics, and mechanism behind the predominance remain unclear. Methods: Bayesian phylogenetic analyses were performed on 180 full capsid and 150 polymerase sequences of 2016-2017 GII.P16-GII.2 noroviruses in China,...
