Abstract
Sequence based information is increasingly used in the surveillance of viruses, not only to provide insight in viral evolution, but as a tool to define transmission routes. As most laboratories have not incorporated sequence analysis in their daily routine, information on typing of viruses is mostly available retrospectively. Reducing the time needed to get sequence based information available during an outbreak, should benefit the understanding of transmission routes and guide the implementation of appropriate infection control measures.

Sequence analysis results were available within a week after detection
Sequence analysis results confirmed suspected outbreaks based on epidemiological data
