Emergence of a New Norovirus Genotype II.4 Variant Associated with Global Outbreaks of Gastroenteritis
Open accessAbstract
Norovirus (NoV) is highly infectious and is the major cause of outbreak gastroenteritis in adults, with pandemic spread of the virus being reported in 1995 and 2002. The NoV genome is genetically diverse, which has hampered development of sensitive molecular biology-based methods. In this study we report on a nested reverse transcriptase PCR (nRT-PCR) that was designed to amplify the highly conserved 3′ end of the polymerase region and the 5′ end of the capsid gene of NoV genogroup II (GII). The nRT-PCR was validated with strains isolated from sporadic and outbreak cases between 1997 and 2004 in New South Wales, Australia. Phylogenetic analysis identified six genotypes circulating in New South Wales, GII.1, GII.3, GII.4, GII.6, GII.7, and GII.10, with GII.4 being the predominant genotype. In 2004, there was a marked increase in NoV GII activity in Australia, with a novel GII.4 variant being identified as the etiological agent in 18 outbreaks investigated. This novel GII.4 variant, termed Hunter virus, differed by more than 5% at the amino acid level across the capsid from any other NoV strain in the GenBank and EMBL databases. The Hunter virus was subsequently identified as the etiological agent in large epidemics of gastroenteritis in The Netherlands, Japan, and Taiwan in 2004 and 2005.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
