Emerging Novel GII.P16 Noroviruses Associated with Multiple Capsid Genotypes
Noroviruses evolve by antigenic drift and recombination, which occurs most frequently at the junction between the non-structural and structural protein coding genomic regions.In 2015, a novel GII.P16-GII.4 Sydney recombinant strain emerged, replacing the predominance of GII.Pe-GII.4 Sydney among US outbreaks.Distinct from GII.P16 polymerases detect
