Abstract:Norovirus (NoV) infection is a leading cause of acute gastroenteritis (AGE) for people of all ages. Here, we reported the molecular epidemiology and genetic diversity of NoVs among hospitalized patients with AGE between 2016 and 2018 in Shandong Province, China. Two thousand sixty‐nine AGE patients from sentinel hospitals were enrolled. The stool samples were collected and tested for NoVs by real‐time RT‐PCR. The RNA‐dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) and capsid gene of 163 strains were amplified and sequenced fo… Show more
