Abstract excerpt
Norovirus (NoV) is one of the leading causes of acute gastroenteritis worldwide. Genotype GII.P17-G.II.17 emerged in Asia between 2013 and 2015 and transiently replaced the GII.4 Sydney 2012 variant circulating at that time. We present the genome characterisation of a GII.P17-GII.17 strain causing a large outbreak in Romania in 2021. Our study shows that the 2021 strain belongs to a novel cluster of genotype...
