Abstract
Novel Recombinant Norovirus in China
Highlights
RNA recombination is a mechanism for virus evolution [5]
Literature documenting recombination in NoV is fairly rich, but none is from China [6]
146/ Kunming/04/China was the first and the first recombinant NoV from China. This isolate shared the closest sequences of polymerase and capsid with Saitama U4 and Leeds/90/UK, respectively
Summary
Identical with that of Saitama U4, but the capsids of 146/Kunming/04/China and Leeds/90/UK were distinctly different from that of Saitama U4. This genetic pattern of 146/Kunming/ 04/China implied a novel, naturally occurring recombinant NoV with GII/7 capsid and GII/6 polymerase. Literature documenting recombination in NoV is fairly rich, but none is from China [6]. 146/ Kunming/04/China was the first and the first recombinant NoV from China.
