Complete Genome Sequence of a Novel Recombinant Human Norovirus Genogroup II Genotype 4 Strain Associated with an Epidemic during Summer of 2012 in Hong Kong

چکیده
Beginning in July 2012, a community-wide increase in the number of norovirus-associated acute gastroenteritis cases was observed during the summer months in Hong Kong. Here, we report the complete genome sequence of a novel recombinant norovirus genogroup II genotype 4 (GII.4) strain, named "2012v," which is associated with this "early" epidemic outside the usual winter season.

Atypical norovirus epidemic in Hong Kong during summer of 2006 caused by a new genogroup II/4 variant.
An atypically high level of norovirus activity was noticed in Hong Kong beginning in early May 2006. A study was carried out to investigate whether this was caused by a new norovirus variant. Epidemiological data including monthly positivity rates and the numbers of outbreaks per month from January to July 2006 were analyzed and compared to those from 2002 to 2005. In a comparison with the epid...
متن کاملComplete Genome Sequence of an Emergent Recombinant GII.P16-GII.2 Norovirus Strain Associated with an Epidemic Spread in the Winter of 2016-2017 in Hong Kong, China
A new recombinant norovirus, GII.P16-GII.2, emerged in the winter of 2016-2017. Here, we report the complete genome of this strain (Hu/GII/HK/2016/GII.P16-GII.2/CUHK-NS-1082), which was collected from a patient hospitalized with gastroenteritis in September 2016 in Hong Kong, China, and sequenced using next-generation sequencing. This genome had a 95.2% nucleotide identity to the closest sequen...
متن کاملComplete Genome Sequence of a Novel Recombinant GII.Pe_GII.17 Norovirus Strain from Hong Kong in 2015
The complete genome sequence of a novel recombinant GII.Pe_GII.17 norovirus strain, tentatively named GII.17 Hong Kong 2015, was determined. RNA-dependent RNA polymerase has 95.6% and 98.4% and viral protein 1 has 90.6% and 95.9% identity at the nucleotide and amino acid levels, respectively, to the closest sequences in GenBank.
متن کاملFirst Complete Genome Sequence of a Genogroup II Genotype 18 Porcine Norovirus, Strain QW125
Noroviruses, members of the family Caliciviridae, are genetically diverse. We report the first complete genome sequence of a genogroup II genotype 18 porcine norovirus, strain QW125. A protein BLAST search revealed that identity scores of this strain compared to other norovirus strains were highest in the predicted protease region.
متن کاملComplete Genome Sequence of Human Norovirus Strain GII.P7-GII.6 Detected in a Patient in the United States in 2014
Homologous recombination is one of the driving forces contributing to the genetic variation of human norovirus, which is an important cause of sporadic and epidemic acute gastroenteritis globally. We report the near-complete genome of the novel recombinant norovirus strain GII.P7-GII.6, detected in an adult with norovirus gastroenteritis in the United States.
